The Sumter County Fire Department covers just over 480 square miles around the City of Americus. Four stations are staffed with a combination of career Firefighters and inmate Firefighters. There are 15 more stations staffed by Volunteers. I have photographed the apparatus at the career stations on previous occasions, but this trip was targeted at the Volunteer stations. The career Battalion Chief on duty that day was kind enough to lead me to five stations and pull out rigs for me. These stations are simple, one-bay, concrete block buildings and most don't even have power. Some have a solar panel on the roof, wired to a trickle charger on the rig. Many of the apparatus in these stations were purchased used.

Our next station housed a 2007 International 4400/Ferrara pumper, but it was dead as a rock. It had a solar panel on the roof, but the last driver had not plugged it in. The BC said he would need to go back to his station to retrieve a battery pack to jump it off, once we were finished. He locked up and we continued on.

This would be our last station. There are still 3 or 4 more rigs I want, but I told him I would return on another day. Due to the distances involved between stations, it had taken us about 2 hours to get these four.
