Thanks for posting the Mallard Creek rigs Dave! I finally found my shots, but they were shot on a very overcast day. MC Brush 6 was upgraded since you were there, seen here:

By far one of the highlights of my recent trip was a shot of this beauty.

Here is the other antique the City of Brevard maintains. The guys at the station told me that back in the 1930s-1940s a historic inn caught fire just outside of Brevard and it was in such a remote area that this particular truck was hauled by rail car to the fire.

Newell & Mallard Creek Fire Departments in Mecklenburg County will be disbanded, as the Charlotte Fire Department expands into their territory. Mallard Creek has donated their apparatus to Huntersville Fire Department. Newell is still determining who to donate their equipment to. See story in this news video: [url="http://http://www.wsoctv.com/video/28201804/index.html"]http://www.wsoctv.com/video/28201804/index.html[/url]

Sad to see Newell close...I guess I should have swiped my helmet when I left in 09....Any idea who is getting their apparatus?

Adam,
Not sure who is getting the apparatus. The board of directors are taking applications and whoever wins the apparatus will take delivery on October 1st according to Newell's website.
Yesterday, Andrew and I got to shoot a bunch of rigs, including 2 parades and a few other stops. I shot somewhere around 80 rigs and Andrew shot quite a bit more because he shoots ambulances, pickups, chiefs rides, etc and I do not. Here is one of the trucks I shot and had time to edit. Expect more shots from both of us in the next few days.

BTW, Gerton is one of those places that has very few flat spots to get pictures, so I will apologize ahead of time that the pictures weren't shot on flat ground.

Andrew and I really enjoyed shooting this one. At one time, trucks like this served a lot of rural North Carolina towns and communities.
