On August 13 I did some photographing in the Des Moines area of some of the departments on the north side of the city.  My first stop though was at the Iowa State Fair.

The State Fair Fire Department runs two E\-One rigs plus a quad.

Engine 410.  Their quad was out running on the fairgrounds when I was there.

Also at the fairgrounds were a couple of DMFD units.

And DMFD brought out their command unit.  Sorry for the awful sun angle!

After leaving the fairgrounds my next stop was on the north side of Des Moines.  There is a fire brigade at Camp Dodge and they run two rigs.

The Iowa National Guard runs Camp Dodge, but there are many other entities that have activities at the Camp including Iowa's Law Enforcement Academy.
