What highway is that in the background ? I think I've seen this but the memory is not serving me well at the moment !
[/quote] Well im sorry i have been racking my brain but i can not for the life of me think of what Highway it was located on. I am almost positive that it was located in tennesee. They had all kinds of crazy items located outside including a couple of old apparatus. I will try to find out where it is located but i cant make any promises.

Here is their old ambulance. Leaf River has some very nice excellent people however the problem is that leaf River is a small town and is experiencing the same problems as every other department having manpower problems.

Here is the old Braceville Squirt that they had for a very short time. The didnt have it long a lot of the reason being because for one the didnt have room for it. Height wise it would not fit in their station and they also had some other problems but i was able to get a shot of it at a training that we had. I am not sure where it wound up.
