Yep, just a few more coming, mostly from Meriden, when I get them organized. Then I'll post the FDNY stuff from the trip. Thanks for the kudos.

Next stop to show you is the Wilton, CT Fire Dept. Same great host here that was at the Wolcott Fire Dept. He was kind enough to move and pose every rig at both departments for us! My feeble old mind can't quite remember the guy's name but he fed us lunch both days! Notice the food sticks in my brain but his name doesn't. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, first up in Wilton is this big ole honking rig of Engine 4, a 1994 E\-One Cyclone 1500/2500 Tanker, Job #13781.

Well, it's been forever since the July "Quinn-a-Thon" trip and I still haven't finished all my photos. The day Mike Quinn, Jim Kus and I met up in New York City was a rainy day, terrible for fire apparatus photography. But, we did it anyway and got some halfway decent photos. We started out at The Rock, aka the training facility. Jack Learch gave us the grand tour.
Keep in mind that the quality of the photos isn't my idea of good by any means. First up is Ladder 5, a 2002 Seagrave 100' Tractor-Drawn Aerial, FDNY# SL02001T.
