Prior to the arrival of the current Tanker 3 (the 2006 International), Eastern Hanover tanker duties were handled by this engine, which now runs as Engine 3.

The GPS was telling me that Namozine, Virginia was not to far from my hotel. I have always wanted to visit this department.
Engine 4 at Namozine (Dinwiddie County) is this 1993 Pierce Dash 1250/1000/30 with job number E 7518-01. A second similar Pierce is in service at Dinwiddie County Courthouse station.

Also at Namozine is this nice Tanker, a 2006 Spartan Diamond/Smeal with a 1500/2000/40. It runs as Tanker 4 and carries Smeal s/n 3158.

Prior to service at Namozine, this E\-One ladder truck was painted black over red. It previously ran in Schaumburg, Illinois.
1990 E\-One Hush

I need help with the serial number - it was not readable on the E\-One label.

This new brush truck was just placed into service - Brush 4 is a 2007 Ford F350/2008 Slagles 250/225/5

By this point, it had been a full day with work and the difficult job of photographing all of these nice fire trucks. Wouldn't you know it...right down the street from my hotel was a sub-station for Carson, Virginia in Prince George County. Since there were several cars at the station, I went in.
Sunlight was getting low, but I decided to get the photos.
Quint 3 is a 2007 Pierce Dash 100' 1500/470/30 with job number 18627. It is part of a recent delivery of engines and quints to Prince George county.

This engine is looking a bit rough, and quite frankly, the guys really did not want to move it out. After the conversation on why it is important to capture the apparatus history of Virginia.......

I had one more day for some opportunities to photograph some additional Virginia apparatus, and fortunately the weather cooperated nicely.
Again, after an all morning meeting, I was able to find some very nice gentlemen at the Wakefield VFD in Sussex County, Virginia. They made arrangements to take a variety of their apparatus down to the local airport for photographs.
Engine 210 is a 2001 American LaFrance Eagle with a top mount 1500 gallon per minute pump, 1000 gallons of water, and 40 foam. It carries ALF serial number 3362.
This ALF was purchased by Sussex County for Wakefield.

Also at Wakefield is Squad 290, which was purchased from the Maple Shade, New Jersey fire department. It is a 1988 Ford with a 18' squad body built by Marion.
Wakefield purchased the squad in 2004 and it has Marion serial number 36317.

Tanker 280 at Wakefield was obtained via grant money and is a nice 2006 International 7600/KME. 1250/2500/40 with KME serial number GSO 6176.
Note the extended cab....it is not a four door unit. The department wanted more leg room for the officer. The cab only has two seats.

I had fun riding this engine because it brought back a variety of memories of the Grumman fire truck that I first learned to drive and pump at Ashburn, Virginia.
Wakefield's Engine 220 is a 1991 Grumman FireCat 1000/1000 with top mount pump controls. It has Grumman serial number 18589 and was purchased by Sussex County for Wakefield.

The Wakefield volunteers have done a nice job in restoring their very first motorized fire truck.
This 1936 Ford has a front mount 500gpm Barton American pump and was built by the local blacksmith shop. It carries approximately 200 gallons of water.
The department restored the Ford in 2002, bringing the Ford out of storage. As part of the restoration, a church pew (bench seat) was used for the driver and officer.

The guys at Wakefield took me on a ten minute drive around town on the 1936 Ford. It must have looked funny with this guy dressed for business riding along in a 1936 Ford fire truck. I was not passing that opportunity by.
Here is a closer view of the front mount Barton American pump.

Brush 240 from Wakefield came from the Prince George, Virginia VFD and is a 1977 Dodge W20 with a 300 gallon water tank.
Almost looks like it is ready to break in two. The department, however, says this truck has and continues to provide great brush fire protection. They are not real concerned about "beating it up".

Do you ever come through Lynchburg?
Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous - mnsand - 03-28-2008
I am not sure if this is a brush or attack unit....."250" is a 1982 Dodge Power Ram/Stahl/Slagles with a 250 gallon water tank.

There was a ton of pride from the guys at Wakefield. They really provided me an enjoyable visit.

From Wakefield I made my way to the Richmond area for a final meeting the next morning.
When I realized that I was close to the new Singer shop in Richmond (Pierce dealer), I made a quick exit off of I95. Boy, I could have spent some really quality time here....lot's of trucks.
The one photograph I did get at Singer is from Hopewell, Virginia. I am not sure if this truck is still in service with Hopewell or not.
