Last test. Not bad but not as good as the SLR by my eye. I will be interested to get other opinions.

I am not sure whose ride this is but I would gladly run around in this thing. The LED warning lights are mounted inside the windshield line on unmarked squads....

I have Station 301 with 3) Ford F-250 pick-ups. Two are 2008 models for Utility 301 and Boat Support 393. I believe you have pics of each of these so the unmarked mystery model is left to the 2007 for Boat Support 394. This is a deductive guess of course.

You know I was thinking at the time I should take a shot of the rear of the three units to see if there were any shop numbers because I knew just this question was going to come up. I have since received some clarification. The unmarked unit is a Boat Support Unit and you are correct Ed it is iether 393 or 394 whichever one of those is the unmarked unit. Although as you can see which ever is the marked unti is now marked Boat Support 301. The use of the unmarked Boat Support Unit vehicle as it was been explained to me is that it is used by the River Rescue Manager or any other function within the Boat unit or fire department. Maybe a more well trained eye can tell the difference but I think the unmarked unit is a 2008.
Oh and when the next two ARFF units are replaced....... Foam 301 Bravo and Foam 301 Charlie for unit numbers.

Was out at Dulles today to shoot at FS 304. Very nice facility as are the rest of the MWAA stations.
I haven't looked at the shots much yet and I will post more maybe tomorrow or next week after the long drive back to MN but I did want to post a few that I found cool.

Oshkosh makes and impressive truck
MWAA is an impressive department
Thanks to the guys that assisted me today and in all of my past trips to Dulles and National.
For those of you not familiar the Strikers can flow both roof and bumper turrets simultaneously, however, only one can be flowed at full flow at a time. If you are flowing full on the bumper turrent and you engage the roof turret to flow full the bumper turret will default to a lower flow.

One last shot for tonight showing just how low angle you can get with the bumper turret extended and lowered....
