They recently added an ARFF program to their curriculum and acquired this rig from Robins AFB. This was the first Oshkosh P-23 in the Air Force. It will receive new paint and graphics.

I also stopped at the City of Forsyth FD on Wednesday to shoot their new ladder truck, but they were in the middle of a training class. I went back today and took a few pics. This rescue previously served the Georgia State Patrol.

This rig was a demo at FDIC. They have had it about a month, after some paint and graphics changes.

This isn't my pic as I never did find it while I was in Georgia, but this is probably the original version of the Forsyth rescue.

Many thanks, Nic! This may be the one, although I was told that GSP had several similar rigs. I shot another one of them at Monroe County Station 4 several years ago and asked the Forsyth guys if it was the same rig as the one I shot today, but they said the County still has that one.

While I was down there they were switching everything over to Ford F250 extended cab pickups with a fiberglass cover over the bed. There really isn't a need to have such a heavy truck for accident reconstruction. I did photograph one of those, but never did find one of the F350/FR trucks. They did usually buy multiples and probably bought three as they had the state divided up in north, central, and south at the time.

Thanks for the info. Until yesterday, I didn't know GSP ever had these rigs.

This is the style of truck they went to in the late '90's for the accident reconstruction units.

That might be the case, but in 1997...EVERY GSP post got one of those trucks to use in inclement weather/off road if needed.

The Gainesville GA post still uses a truck light above, but much newer for the SCRT team.

This & That from Here & There - ScaleCentral - 08-19-2015

Yes, you're right on that as this one is for patrol, but the SCRT trucks were the same except what was in the back and the large round SCRT emblem. Haven't seen any of the newer ones as I left Georgia in 2000 and have only been back once.
