while I was taking a picture of the old airport fire truck (previous picture) a Bentonia, Mississippi Fire truck sneaks up behind me to refill for water because the mill in town was on fire. The red car next to the fire truck is mine which is a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix. Both pictures were taken in March of 2006.

On Christmas Day, we drove from Dallas, Texas to Amarillo, Texas via US-287, which neither of us had been on before. We were pleasantly surprised to come across a few roadside rigs along the way. Unfortunately, the December sun and the time of day were working against us. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />



First up is a 1970's American LaFrance 1000 Series Engine that was lettered for Port Arthur Fire Department. It was sitting just south of Sunset, Texas.

This Oshkosh crash truck was sitting in an equipment yard just south of where the ALF was. There were at least two other crash trucks in the same lot.

Up the road a piece, near Vernon, Texas, sat this 1954 Ford that was lettered for the Electra Fire Department (a town just south of Vernon). Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information plates on it.

The last picture was taken near Newlin, Texas. I'm not sure what this truck's previous service life might've been, but it was painted red and looked kind-of neat. So, here it is.
