I took a trip up to Forest Lake for the parade yesterday and shot a few, including this one. It was bought by the Harris, MN Fire Department. When talking to the Chief, I mentioned that I thought that it came from Sparks NV. His jaw dropped, because only then, did he realize that he was dealing with a real geek.

My god.... do you guys have ANYTHING ugly apparatus wise in Minnesota?? There really isn't any one piece I could pick out of there that I could say I don't like. The huge fully enclosed/raised roof crew compartment pumpers are amazing looking! Some of the use of commercial chassis trucks is amazing, I had heard that the city of Minneapolis had a WhiteGMC or Volvo midmount ladder truck running in it's ranks... that would be something to see!!
