Loudoun County,Va. - mnsand - 10-05-2012 New brush truck at Philomont FS 8, and built by FastLane, which is a bit unusual. Brush 608 2012 Ford F450 4x4/FastLane 350/250/15 front bumper has built in ground sweeps heavy duty wheel upgrade kit 10,000 winch Mike Sanders Winchester, VA Loudoun County,Va. - Fire28 - 10-05-2012 Thanks for the update Mike. That makes 2 at 8 I need now. What did they do with the old Brush? Loudoun County,Va. - mnsand - 10-05-2012 Brush 608 has both a booster reel and a reel for forestry line that is not pre-connected. You pull off the forestry line that you need and hook it up to the pump. Mike Sanders Winchester, VA Loudoun County,Va. - mnsand - 10-05-2012 Back end view.

Mike Sanders Winchester, VA [/quote] Mike, if Loudoun still uses the "Wagon" designator, why can't the other NOVA COG departments go back to using that term instead of the stupid sounding "Bravo" designator? -Paul Loudoun County,Va. - Guest - 11-14-2012 [quote name='VFN102' timestamp='1352867383' post='503041'] Mike, if Loudoun still uses the "Wagon" designator, why can't the other NOVA COG departments go back to using that term instead of the stupid sounding "Bravo" designator? -Paul [/quote] That would not fit with COG's "one size fits all" narrow minded mentality and might force some people to actuualy use the grey matter between their ears. Looks like VDOT will get some help trimming trees with the ladder rack on Wagon-12 Loudoun County,Va. - mnsand - 11-14-2012 Some additional Loudoun County apparatus...... The Training Center recently added this bus to their roster: Bus 690 2011 Freightliner M2/Champion Bus Company seating for 33 (including the driver) and a area in the rear to carry equipment, etc. It replaces an older International bus (ex-school bus). Mike Sanders Winchester, VA Loudoun County,Va. - mnsand - 11-14-2012 The other side of Bus 690... Mike Sanders Winchester, VA Loudoun County,Va. - mnsand - 11-14-2012 UTV 687 (or Utility Task Vehicle) is currently being kept at the Training Center although it appears it might end up being housed at a Loudoun County station at some point. UTV 687 is a 2012 Kawasaki with the capability of carrying a stretcher in the back. It will be used for larger events. I believe this might have been a grant purchase (Council of Governments?) because it has the same logo as the other COG purchases (Mobile Air Unit's, Medical Ambulance Buses, etc.). Can anyone confirm that, and if so, what other departments might have received them? A special thanks - Captain Harne (a firepics member) was a great help in moving around these training center apparatus allowing me to get caught up on photographs of the training center roster. Thanks Captain Harne. Mike Sanders Winchester, VA Loudoun County,Va. - Fire28 - 11-14-2012 Nice Pics Mike. The Academy is one of the places I'd like to photograph eventually. Loudoun County,Va. - mnsand - 11-14-2012 Here is one that I have been trying to photograph but always missing it because it is assigned to different stations. Rescue 680 is the county's reserve squad, a 2007 Pierce Dash with job number 18808. It was originally Rescue 603 in Middleburg where it had yellow stripes. In November of 2010, it was transferred to Aldie station 7 where it ran as Aldie's first heavy rescue, Rescue 607. Aldie received a new Pierce squad this year and the 2007 Pierce became the county reserve as Rescue 680. I photographed R-680 while it was filliing in at Rescue Station 13 in Leesburg. My thanks to the crew for moving R-680 around for photographs (a very tight area for photos). Mike Sanders Winchester, VA |
