Here is a photo I took of Wagon 24 from Woodlawn many years ago. Known as the Rt.1 Rocket, it was a 1971 Seagrave 1000/500. I know after leaving FS 24 it went to Station 16.
What makes this piece special is that it was the first "county" purchased engine.
As Paul stated, it ultimately went to Sperryville, Virginia. When Fairfax County desired to have their first county purchased engine back into the department, a rehabed 1983 Duplex/E-One was given to Sperryville in 2000. I believe both departments were happy - Sperryville had a "newer" engine and Fairfax had a piece of their history back.

Code 3 also makes a model of this exact rig. however if one looks REAL close at the model it actually has an older but very similar K-cab instead of the P-cab as shown here.

My brother worked for Fairfax County from 1973 until 2007. His absolute FAVORITE truck to drive was Truck 30, a 1969 Seagrave 100' tiller. 6-71 Detroit Diesel, 5-speed manual overdrive, 2-sp. rear. I have a photo of her but it's too big to use here and if I tried to make it fit you would be lucky to get any more than just the windshield.

Does anyone have any updated photos of the construction that is going on (or has been completed) at Fire Station 412?

Brother Dave, I drove by 12 A few months back and didn't see anything that would indicate progress, but I'll defer to Sr Fire Official for the real facts. He's usually in the know.
Take care

I heard construction is moving along ahead of schedule on FS12. It will hopefully be ready for occupancy by November 2011.

Very nice collection of photos. thanks for sharing. My brother drove Squad 14 (GMC engine-forward, dd 6V-53 engine). Told me it could barely keep up with the wagon. Fairfax's Seagrave foam unit was one of my all-time favorite rigs. I wish more like it were made. Nice photo of Truck 8 the '66 Seagrave in the later paint scheme.

Bruce, thanks for the shots of the temp quarters of 12.
Do you have any timeline on when your new Velocity is due in town?

Dave, we're looking at a spring delivery. The county will have it for awhile to install radios and electronics. Good chance it will be June till we have it for it's first call. I will be the first to post pics.
Note to those that know the area of FS 12. The temporary setup is 180 degrees from the old station.

Try resizing the photos using photoshop or Picasa programs.

I will probably be in town end of May/early June so maybe timing will be lucky for me.

Thanks. I just put them up as clickable links. Works just as well since all my fire apparatus photos are on flickr.

I am at work so I can't see the pictures but I have seen pictures of the GMC conventional squad truck from Fair Oaks, it reminds me a truck I saw in a book from the Navy-Vale Fire Department. I always thought that was the coolest looking little squad truck, when I got old enough to drive I never figured out where the Navy-Vale Fire Department was and I imagine thier piece is long gone by now.
