Bounching around a little bit here's a good chunk of Torrington's fleet, I wish I could hear them on the scanner, they get a fair amount of action and don't run EMS.

TPD - the Winsted Chief works for them and waved me right into this scene of a medical building in May of '05.

Ladder 2 - shot last year too - this just came back from a minor refurb job, Torrington only ladder, mutual aid covered while it was gone from Winsted & Litchfield. Gonna hafta get down there and shoot the new paint job.

Interesting paint scheme on that Kensington ALF. It looks like they took it off of the ALF from Violetville, Maryland who took it from Clinton, Maryland. That made for some great conversations a couple years back at the Maryland State Convention.

Okay those were from the 2005 Avon Parade

Up next is the 100th annv. parade held in Lakeville - Lakeville is a village (or the like) within the town of Salisbury.

We've seen Lakeville's fleet already, but the other day I caught Engine 60 on a lowboy and the driver (a Canaan FC officer) told me it was headed to Buffalo for refurb.
