Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous - mnsand - 01-19-2008
Things have been a bit slow recently from a fire apparatus photography standpoint. I did, however, find a couple of trucks traveling in between meetings in the Westmoreland County area of Virginia.
Montross, Virginia runs this larger brush truck as their Brush 1. I have not seen many trucks built by Southern Coach in Virginia. As I was talking to the Assistant Chief who pulled this brush truck out, I was reminded that Montross has purchased a 1988 Pierce Lance from Leesburg, Virginia (located in Loudoun County). The Pierce is in service but not yet marked for Montross. That will have to be a return visit.

This tanker was sitting behind the Oak Grove, Virginia fire station. I am not sure if it is in service or not.
The details around this tanker are a bit fuzzy. Any help on this one is appreciated.

Well, if you cannot get new apparatus photos, how about some old ones? I have obtained an older collection of apparatus slides from Virginia that I am making my way through. I will post some recent photographs I had made.
Berryville, Virginia still owns this 1966 Mack B85F 750/600. Since this picture was taken, the Mack has been rehabed. It carries Mack serial number 1509.
This photo was taken in June of 1977.

Prior to the 1966 Mack B at Berryville, Station 1 also ran a 1958 Mack B55 1000/600. It was eventually sold to a farmer in Kentucky.

A couple from Arlington, Virginia.
Engine 7 ran this 1966 Chevrolet/American LaFrance 750gpm as their Engine 7. Take a look at the front bumper - the hooks and what appears to be a Mack bulldog.

Good photos Mike. Always good to see your work.
That is a BULLDOG on the bumper. I have to tell you that the truck is a GMC from what is on the side of the cab.
