Here are a few from Fluvanna County which I shot a couple of weeks ago. I thought I had a picture of Co. 1 (Palmyra), but apparently not! Hopefully someone else will post that one. This is the current building for Co. 2 (Fork Union). The Chief told me they hope to break ground on the new station in November.

And here is Co. 3 (Kents Store). As you can tell, this is a fairly new facility with 3 drive thru bays.

Paul,
Anyone know any history of why they have companies 1, 2, 3, and then skipped to 5? Was there ever a Company 4?

Back in November 2010, several firepicers went tp Prince Edward County VA to shoot a few photos.
This is the Meherrin, VA Company 5 house.
My photo.

While out, we stopped by Darlington Heights, VA Company 6 and caught their apparatus and the house.

Likewise on up the road, we got the Hampden-Sydney, VA Company 2's apparatus and house.

Some stations shot recently in Fauquier and Warren Counties (in between train photography). All images by me.
The Plains
I shot this station 20 years ago,while the building is unchanged, the apparatus fleet was certainly more diverse back then. Does this co. still run a rescue squad?

Current North Warren station, Rockland Road has been deadended just before the US340 intersection and rerouted 1/4 mile to the south, making it a P.I.T.A. to get around to this station...

Linden, this outfit has certainly come a long way with their apparatus fleet.

They no longer provide Rescue Squad service, as they sold the rig to a department in West Virginia that serves the area around the Snow Shoe Ski Resort, if my memory serves me correctly.

Also, I will defer to Mike Sanders on this, he's the one that let me know it was no longer in The Plains.

Thanks, I scanned the 1991 print, the main difference in the building is all 3 bay doors are now the same, also the 1976 Ford C/E-1 engine is in a large open-sided shed just before the RT55 RRxing, on the south side.
