Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous - VFN102 - 08-18-2010
Final pic from my trip. It had become so overcast at this point, I gave up going to some of the other stations. Squad 10 serves as a back-up extrication unit. She previously saw service in Frederick Co, VA at the Middletown VFD.

I saw this unit on a flat bed going through Bowie, MD a few weeks ago, has it been replaced?

Yes, it's been replaced with this 2010 Pierce Impel HDR. So-so parade photo taken the day after it was delivered.

My information indicates that the ex Dale City/King George unit was sold to Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus, but if you saw it going through Bowie, then might have sold it already. It's not showing as a delivery on their site, though.

My sole shot from today. The clouds marched in and rained on our (mine and Roto-Ray's) parade! This is one of three identical ambulances owned by Dumfries-Triangle Volunteer Rescue Squad. It doesn't have a unit designation on it at the moment, not sure what it will go by on the radio.

Ok, a question.....is it technically the Fluvanna County VFC or the Palmyra VFC, as two of the rigs have both designations on them? Just curious

Good question Chris, but I never thought to ask. Looking at Palmyra's webpage (http://fluvannaco1.com/about.html) it also uses both names. Further reading leads me to believe the Fluvanna Volunteer Fire DEPARTMENT is the umbrella organization made up of the Palmyra, Fork Union, and Kents Store Volunteer Fire COMPANIES. There is also the Lake Monticello VFD. Reference is made to "both fire departments are 100% volunteer and work together....." By that I surmise there are two volunteer fire departments serving Fluvanna (Fluvanna VFD & Lake Monticello VFD).

Just a thought, but in SW Virginia some depts have either the Town/City or the County on the door of the apparatus, depending on who funded it. Hence trucks sitting side by side in the same station with two different names on them.
Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous - Guest - 09-20-2010
I made a quick trip up the road to Fluvanna County on Monday in hopes of shooting rigs I have never had an opportunity to do so before. I struck out at Fork Union, but lucked out at Palmyra.
If you want pictures of the Fork Union fire trucks you need to catch them at a fire as most of the members do not hang out at the firehouse, a new modern firehouse is in the works once the homeland security grant gets the final go-ahead....... I have some pictures of them that I will try to post soon.
As for designation as to the firetrucks in Palmyra the Palmyra Volunteer fire company is part of the Fluvanna County Volunteer Fire System which includes Palmyra, Fork Union and Kents Store that run under one larger organization.
Engine 11 is dispatched as Engine 11 but is known as a rescue engine as is Engine 52.

Attached is a photo/poster I did for the Fork Union volunteer Fire Company (Company 2 in Fluvanna County) in 2008 for their 40th Anniversary. Shown left to right Attack 20, Engine 20 and Tanker 20 -- not shown car 20 and car 21.......
The new station will be on RT15 north of downtown Fork Union back off the road a little ways next to the Fork Union Community Center. 3 triple deep bays) funded by Homeland Security Grant that has had some issues because the grant administrator and replacement both left their jobs earlier this year.....
Also generally only Company 1 staffs their building during the day on certain days of the week, volunteers in Fork Union and Kents Store usually respond to the building as calls come in.

Your trip sounded like mine....I also "struck out" at Fork Union. I even stopped at the gas station/convenience store and the lady tried making a few calls without any luck.

Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County (off of I81 between Lexington and Roanoke) will soon be receiving their new Engine 1102, a 2010 Smeal Sirius 1500/750/20 with serial number 3900.
