This is somewhat of a historical photo. This was the last shift that TS-21 would run out of this house. Their new house, located a couple blocks away, was to be moved into the next morning.

[quote name='GA_Dave' post='303985' date='May 9 2009, 19:05 ']As many of you already know, I recently made a trip to the Pierce factory in Appleton, WI to do final inspection on my department's new pumper. Wanting to add to my collection of apparatus photos, I drove there instead of flying, taking pics at numerous stops along the way. The journey lasted from April 26th to May 6th and increased the odometer reading on my car by 2354 miles. I had the pleasure of meeting fellow 'pixer Rob from Redwood, Canada and spent some time with two previously met Firepics members, Trina and Bruce, from Hope, IN. The trip was a success, with a net gain of about 200 apparatus photographed.

Our new Engine 1 is a 2009 Arrow XT. Job Number 21703 is powered by a Series 60 Detroit Diesel rated at 455 horsepower and features a 1500 GPM Hale single stage pump. It has a 6 Kw. hydraulic/PTO generator, 200' cord reel, and five floodlights. The body has rescue-style compartments on both sides, topped off with an overhead ladder rack carrying 28' extension, 14' roof and 10' extension ladders. The tank holds 750 gallons of the wet stuff. There is storage for 8 spare SCBA cylinders and two O2 bottles. There are four 1.75", 200' preconnects above the pump, all with TFT 95-300 GPM nozzles. The deck gun is a TFT rated at 1250 GPM and raises up above the roofline when in use. The front bumper holds a 100' trash line and 300' of 1" forestry hose. The main hosebed will carry 1000' of 5", 650' of 3" wyed off into a pair of 1.75" handlines that are 150' long, also ending in TFT 95-300 GPM nozzles. Also in the hosebed is a 300' deadload of 3" with a R.A.M. (Rapid Attack Monitor), equipped with a 500 GPM TFT nozzle, and a compartment for two backboards. Engine 1 will respond as an ALS First Responder and has an EMS cabinet inside the cab. It will carry a full set of Hurst extrication tools, roof saw, Cutter's Edge saw, PPV, and a thermal imaging camera. It even has room for four Firefighters![/quote]

Dave, great pics and a great rig. I would love to see some 360 shots and shots of the hose set up and compartments if you get a chance. Very nice job on the rig from what I can see so far.

Not a problem, but it will have to wait until we get it in service, about two weeks. It's currently at the dealer's shop getting equipment mounted.

Not a problem. I will add this to my list of rigs I would like to shoot should I ever get down your way. One of these years I will stop spending all of my vacation time in the DC area (I lived there for 14 years). It seems to take me 4 weeks a year just to shoot all the new deliveries in Northern VA.

Hi, Dave. I'm glad it worked out that you were able to come through Southern Indiana and shoot some trucks local to our area. I really enjoyed being able to go out and take some pictures with you. Jonesville's station was a hoot. (I've always wanted to drive that huge tanker.) I'll be looking forward to seeing the rest of your pictures. Thanks for putting up with us. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' Smile

Thanks, Trina. I had a great time while in your area. I will have to return one of these days as I didn't get everything I was after. Only one in Madison! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

' /> I was unable to contact the guy from Walnut Street. I did good in North Vernon and I found an interesting fleet just across the river from Madison, but no one was around there either. I did okay in metro Louisville Tuesday afternoon, but got rained out on Wednesday, so I just packed it in and went home. Since I have lodging available in Louisville now, trips to southern Indiana could happen more frequently than every ten-fifteen years!
