Hamlet FD also runs several ALS ambulances (another rarity in NC due to the way the statute reads making it the responsibility of the county) that I did not shoot. Here is the final truck that is not in-service yet but will be soon.

Lewisville FD Brush 311.

Was out and about in the nice weather today and found Lewisville performing some driving drills next to their station.

Was unable to get any info on these rigs as they were really busy and I did not want to interrupt them. Took a peek in the station and looks like they have a nice Pierce RM Ladder. Definitely will go back when they are not so busy.

Casey,

 

Here's the specs on the Lewisville trucks:

Engine 111-2008 Spartan/Rosenbauer 1500/1000

Engine 113-2002 Spartan/Luverne 1250/1000

Brush 311-2003 Ford F550/Anchor Richey 250/300/15F

 

I'm also a volunteer at Lewisville and you're welcome to come by anytime either station 11 or 13. All 3 shifts wouldn't mind pulling the trucks out for you. Just FYI, E113 is due to be replaced next year with a 3,000 gallon elliptical tanker so it's good you shot it before it is sold.

Quote:At first glance, this looks like a complete Mack tanker but the guys at the station told us the body was fabricated by a local company.

Micah,

Thanks for the info. 113s replacement going to be another Spartan, or should I say an ERV product? It was the first time going by the station, and surprised to see everyone out drilling. Per chance, were you there around 2:45pm? Smile

They are looking at a Kenworth chassis with an elliptical tanker body, unsure who will built it cause the bid hasn't went out yet. No, I was in Rowan County all day Saturday getting pictures down there.

I've tried to fix these next shots as best I could but North Wilkesboro was a tough place to shoot. Unlike Wilkesboro, their ramp is pretty short and the station sits on top of a hill. The only halfway decent place to shoot the trucks was to shut down the main street in front of the station for each truck.

North Wilkesboro had to undergo several modifications just to park T2105 in the station. Our driver told us the bay floor had to be dug up twice and the front pad had to be lowered about 8" so the bucket wouldn't clip the bay door when leaving because of the slope. Here was the snorkel trying to back in.
