Here is the antique engine from South Hill VFD, their first engine with a pump. I didn't take a picture of it, but there is a plaque that states it is "The Oren"

Although she is a bit long in the tooth, what rural department would be without a tanker? We believe this was built by Darley.

Built by Atlas, down in Raleigh. They often used Darley pumps.

Thanks Dave. It didn't have any builder badges.

What happened to the truck in 1995 and 2002?

After further inquiry, those additional rehab dates are inaccurate. The rig is a 1993, corrections made! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Just for future reference, Atlas plates were usually placed on the back of the body, near the brake and turn signal lights. Not saying it was there because I've seen a few that didn't have any plates, but that would be the general area to look on Atlas bodies.

Micah, in Paul's defense, three of us searched this rig all over for a builder, including going through the glove compartments for clues. No luck! Guess the department removed them at some point (or they simply fell off?). <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

I wasn't doubting it at all, I've been all over some trucks and haven't found anything as to who built a body as well. There was one Atlas I ran into that didn't have any plates at all, the only way I figured it was an Atlas was by looking at a guage on the pump panel and it had "Atlas" written in small letters.

Here is Charlottesville's newest pumper. The black over red is a departure from their normal solid red color scheme. This rig is housed at Station 10, a temporary one bay metal building. The city has three stations; Headquarters (the big house), Station 1 & Station 10. The reason for the jump from Station 1 to 10 reflects the other numbers are already being used by Albemarle County. As far as I know, the city and county still share the same communications center.

Engines 1 & 2 run out of Station 1, located on the bypass. As you can see by the grill, this used to be Engine 2. Note the changeable number placards on the doors.

Thanks John. Unfortunately, I didn't pick up on the power line shadow on E6 until I got home. That is Rt. 250 right behind the rig and cars were whizzing by nonstop.
