We woke up Friday morning to thunderstorms. After checking the weather radar, we decided to head north to Fernandina Beach, allowing the rain to pass, since it was headed southeast. On the way, we hit Station 38, the home of Marine 1 and Marine 4. We shot them between downpours.

When we got there both Fernandina Beach stations were empty, so we went to our next stop, Station 16 at the Jacksonville International Airport. We were turned away for "security reasons". By then, the rain had turned to drizzle. We headed downtown to Station 1.

Station 2 was next, but no one was home. While we were loading up to try Station 9, an unmarked Jacksonville engine passed us, enroute to a call. As we got to Station 9, Engine 7 passed us, going the same direction. Station 9 was empty, so we followed Engine 7 as far as we could. We located the smoke column and finally arrived at the scene. We were able to shoot a few additional rigs while there.

I'm not really sure. This rig is a rescue pumper, while most companies there have more standard pumpers. It may have been assigned to a very busy company and have high mileage compared to other rigs.

I was the one to talk to the officer on the phone while we stopped at the gate. The gate was open and I could have driven right to the station. It was very, very obvious that the officer was making this up as he went and his story had "I just don't want to bother" written all over it. So, we called the other Jacksonville area airport up and they told us to "Sure! Come on by!"

After leaving the fire scene, we went to Station 4 to shoot a Pierce heavy rescue and another Pierce TDA, both of which I already shot on a previous visit (on a sunny day). From there, we returned to Station 2. They were running the reserve rig we had seen go by us when we were there earlier. That engine had been hooked to the hydrant at the fire and was not in a good spot for a pic.

We then returned to Station 9. Ladder 9 was also at the fire and I took a shot of it there, but this one is better.
