Since I'd shot Dandridge last, they had moved into a new station and got these two new rigs. I re-shot the entire fleet in front of the new station, but I'll spare you all those. Check out my website to see the rest of Dandridge's fleet.

Micah and I made a little spur-of-the-moment venture around Asheville the other day in search of the new Asheville Haz-Mat 2. We turned up with no Haz-Mat 2, but we did shoot these rigs.



This Freightliner is serving its last days at Beaverdam. It's being replaced on July 1st by a 2007 ALF Eagle engine that formerly served Haw Creek, NC. The new ALF Eagle will be Engine 17 and this truck will be moved to Woodfin FD for storage.

I wanted a better picture of this truck, but nobody was around the station to move it. It had a half-top mount pump panel. I sure hope someone on here can insight me as to where this beast once served!

Here's Christianburg's newest truck. So new, in fact, that they don't even have a bay for it yet! So for right now, it's hanging out near the highway, advertising their fireworks stand. This truck was donated to them by Seymour, TN.

I realize it was probably way too late to be shooting "good pictures" but at some of these little middle-of-nowhere VFD's, evenings might be the only time you can catch someone there. And quite possibly, I'm the only person that might ever shoot this rig in its new home! I have A picture of this truck, so I'm happy.
