Another angle from the front of Station 1.
The station has several hose reel carts, as can be seen in this photo to the right.

Last from Covington - these are the apparatus bays to the rear of the station. I had most of the apparatus photographed here since there was a little more room.
Hope you enjoyed the Covington tour.

OK, I might not have quite the effection for brush trucks that a certain someone does, but I loved the Jeep photos. Too bad my '01 TJ doesn't have as much personality as the one from Covington! :-)

[quote name='mnsand' post='153977' date='Oct 6 2007, 15:26 ']Traveling on I64 in Virginia, just prior to crossing the state line into West Virginia you hit Covington, Virginia in Alleghany County.
I made what I thought was a quick stop to get a bite to eat and get back on the road. Since I was there, I thought I would find the Covington FD and see what they have. I stopped for directions at the local auto parts store. What a surprise - one of the workers is a member and had me follow him to the station. While there, he called the Chief who left his work and came to the station to take me to Covington's substation and then back to the main station for photos of all of the apparatus. My short stop turned out to be about 2 1/1 hours and had me arriving late to my hotel in West Virginia - no complaints here, just another example of the awesome hospitality I have received from these Southwest Virginia FD's.
Covington runs from their main station in the downtown area as well as a small substation on the outside limits. Like many southwest Virgina stations, the stations are older and a bit challenging for photographs.
Since the Chief took me to the substation, I will start there. This two bay facility houses an engine from the fire department and a ambulance from the rescue squad. Fire and Rescue are seperate organizations but share the same facilities.
Engine 23 runs from the substation and is a 1994 Spartan Gladiator/Quality top mount 1250/750/50. Serial number M-891.

A Spartan Gladiator low profile cab on a pumper. Now thats's unique.
Very nice photos as usual.

If I may, I realize these qualifiy as "behind the fence" pix but. Here at Wallops Flight Facility {NASA} we've just received a pair of twins. 2, 1250/500 Contenders and 2, Stryker 3000gal crash trucks. I don't know what happened to the pic of 25-3 but here's what I got.

I don't know what happened to the pic of 25-3 but the camera settings were the same, here's 26-3.

Great stuff from Wallops. Never even heard of the place. What county is that located in?
Thanks.

Loudoun County, Virginia's newest ladder truck was placed into service on October 19, 2007 at 10:30.
South Riding Tower 19 has a new Pierce tower currently being finished by Pierce. A loaner ladder truck was received from Singer (local Pierce dealer) to run as Tower 19 until the new Pierce is in service. The new Pierce is expected to be in service around Thanksgiving. The plans are to return this Pierce to Singer once the new tower is in service.
Tower 19 is a 1993 Pierce Arrow 100' that previously saw service in Chesapeake, Virginia. It carries Pierce job number E7625 and still has some of the Chesapeake markings. At Chesapeake, it carried shop number F-755.

Still on the Pierce are these decals in memory of two firefighters killed in the line of duty. I know that numerous departments have these same emblems on their trucks, as well as some apparatus from Currituck County, North Carolina (borders Chesapeake).

Mike,
Would that be 10:30 AM or PM?

I know that there are many (as myself) that are intrigued with Loudoun County history. The guys at Station 19 are proud of the newest truck company in the county, so I wanted to convey as much info as possible <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />We do use military time in Loudoun County fire. So that would be in the morning.
You are welcome.

On the first page of this Virginia thread, I posted the apparatus from Raphine, Virginia. I had the opportunity to drop by the FD on the way home from a business trip today to photograph a very interesting Sutphen engine.
This one is brand new - placed into service two weeks ago and is painted in the FD's new colors of black over red. What I found interesting is the configuration of the top mount pump panel - I have not seen this before. This was designed because this Sutphen will run numerous calls on nearby Interstate 81.
