Mark, when you get back in town, we'll have to go shoot John's Crick and grab those old relics in Cleveland on the way over the mountain. Maybe Super Dave will be back from his year & a half long excursion to the north and join us then! haha

Andrew'd never been to Pickens County, GA and seen their UD rescue truck so we stopped by there. I was able to shoot a couple of rigs and improve some of my older shots. At their main station was this rig normally kept at the Talking Rock station. It's a 2002 International/Smeal 1500/1000/30F Pumper as Engine 70.

I got another shot of this Cherokee County, NC EMS rig, a 2008 International/Road Rescue rig. I didn't know it at the time but they just got at least two of these as I saw them parked seperately one morning.

Thanks Alex! I look at your link everyday too. Good stuff you've been shooting lately. Gives me lots of ideas of what I need to get.

The other day, the Mrs. and I ventured down to Chattanooga, TN to visit some quilt shops (my favorite) and see the sites (aka firetrucks - but she doesn't know that). I managed to shoot a couple of Chattanooga rigs, an Erlanger helicopter, then stumbled on a good sized fire in Dunlap, TN. I made contact with the IC and asked if I could photograph his fire scene. He was more than happy to let me do whatever I wanted. So, I shot the fire scene and shot most of the trucks on scene. Here are some of the rigs that I got that day.
First up, in Chattanooga, is this 1987 Mack MC/Ward 79 1500/500/50' Telesqurt with shop #F-004.
