Great Photos, Got any recent apparatus photos from Virginia?
Andrew Messer Photos - Andrew2340 - 02-22-2009
No, I've only been to your area once, back in Fall 2007. I'd love to come visit again, but I don't know when or if it'll happen.

As always, Good work Andrew! Let me know if you ever to get to Central/South GA.
Andrew Messer Photos - Andrew2340 - 03-28-2009
These past few weeks, I've been able to shoot a few new deliveries & a few trucks I lacked. Hope you guys & gals like them! Here's probably the most outstanding rig I shot...

This little fella managed to avoid my camera lens for about 4 years now. Every time I'd drop by, nobody could drive it, it wouldn't crank, or the batteries were dead. Luckily, that day I caught an FF there who said that was his favorite truck to drive. My persistence paid off!

Shot a few other support trucks at Reynolds, and an ambulance <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

This is the truck that the new tanker "replaced." This is the former Tanker 3, now assigned as Tanker 3-2. It is now the first-out tanker from Fairview's new substation.

This is the next truck up for replacement at Fairview. Since I didn't have a great shot of it, and I had a willing crew of guys, I figured I might as well shoot it too!

Last time I was at Fairview, my picture of this truck didn't turn out exactly like I'd hoped. This one did! (Even if it is an Anchor Richey Piece-of-Junk!)

Even though I most always shoot the support vehicles, utility vehicles & sometimes even the chiefs cars (NO, I don't shoot volunteers' POV's, even though they might have more red lights that most first-out engines ever should!) I usually don't post all those. This one is different.

Left Fairview & went to Upper Hominy in hopes of catching this piece. It was the only truck I lack from UHFD's fleet and luckily I found a willing soul to take me to Station 2 where this truck resides.
