Air-Rescue 4 did a couple of different demonstration including siphoning water from the lake and then doing a water drop. I took a bunch of different shots of this one doing different things but I won't bore you with them all. Here's the 1999 Bell 412EP starting the water drop over the lake.

And another of it tossing out some divers. Sucker kicked up lots of water making photographing it challenging to say the least.

As most of you know, Station 3 is the only station in the county in red rigs. Their regular Engine 3 is in the shop so I photographed it there. I wanted pictures of it and the new Rescue 2. I asked the boss at the shop if someone could move them and pose them for me and he said for me to just do it myself. I wasn't about to be shy about that, so I did it.
Engine 3 is a 2006 Pierce Quantum Chrome 1500 GPM Pumper.

Here's the same rig on the way down. I shot it in a rest area along I-75 in TN. It'll never see beautiful scenery like this again.
