Quote:Looking back at the in-service rigs we find this 1981 Mercedes Benz/Metz/Leit 95' ladder as Ladder 3.This Mercedes-Benz/Metz (Leiter means ladder) look like an old ladder from the Hamburg Fire Department in Germany.

. This beauty is built an the so called "alligator hood" chassis. The engines were all aircooled and have an fantastic sound, that can be heard from mile away.Thanks for posting the photos from this part of the world.
Is it possible to post the american built apparatus here after the FAJ article is published?
Due to not to have enough time to read all magazines I haven't ordered FAJ the last two or three years.

Thank you for the comments Jurgen. I think it will be possible to post them after the FAJ stories.

Well, back at it. Back in February, Ron Arnow, Jim Kus, Mike Quinn and I spent a few days dodging rain and clouds in the Sunshine State. The best day was in Miami-Dade where we visited the Fire-Rescue Station 12. They'd just gotten in four new rigs and we got the grand tour. I'll start with the older equipment first, then move on to the newer.
First up is this spare engine, a 1997 Spartan/Saulsbury 1500/500 pumper, job #296056.

Foam 2's glamour shot. After the driver showed off what the rig could do and got the ramp wet, I saw the perfect opportunity to have him pose for a reflective shot.

This rig, slated for delivery to the Kendall-Tamiami Int'l Airport is a 2013 Rosenbauer Panther 1500, 1850/1500/200F rig, job #103662.

Though I'd shot this rig before, the others hadn't so I took advantage of being able to get a better shot. The 1997 Freightliner/Medic-Master rig is part of the Cancer Support Network.

I'd shot this rig, Command 3, before too but took advantage of the chance to shoot it with the slide-outs open. It's a 2008 Peterbilt-Paccar Mexico/Elite rig. It's one of two.

Palm Beach County F.O.O.L.S. Ladder 1 is a 1961 Pirsch 85' ladder with job #2499. I'm told it once served Ft. Worth, TX but it seems I recall it once serving somewhere else also.

I'm confused about Miami-Dades crash rigs...what designation will the former Foam 2 have (2011 Rosenbauer)?
Mark Carr Photos - Mark V. Carr - 03-16-2014
My guess is that they'll take the number off of it and it will fill in whichever spot is needed.
