On our way to the Pacific Coast we did a side-trip to Lincoln/Ca. My intention was, to get a photo from their huge tandem-axle tiller quint. Unfortunately the tiller was not longer in service due to cost-cuttings. So I got three other apparatus at one of their stations.

Quote:I had to cancel my original plans to visit the Jackson Hole and Teton Village Fire Departments, as both departments were totally involved in the brush-fire. So I went to the Jackson Hole International Airport. The crew from the Fire Department was extremely nice and pulled the trucks out.

If you're thinking of the rolled-over DA-1500 from Stapleton, I think it went to Gunnison after CRES rebuilt it, if I recall.
