We had both the grain bin rescue trailer and the manure pit simulator down at our station for county wide training. Very cool props.

Is that a Simon Fire Apparatus demo in the background of the Toyne Aerial? I'm surprised to see they have a demo unit if so, being as small of a company as they are.
Great photos,
Trav!

They have a couple demos actually. They are listed on their website.

Next up is West Bertram Township. West Bertram, not to be confused with the unincorporated village of Bertram in Linn County east of Cedar Rapids, covers largely rural parts of Linn County on the east edge of Cedar Rapids and Marion.

Quote:The bed was donated by the Iowa Conservation Commission, predecessor to the current Department of Natural Resources.I take it that the rig doesn't get much use judging by the tire chains and the green green grass. Great looking rig none the less.
