On Thursday, I worked on more of the Houston area, beginning near my cousin's house, then heading towards Conroe and then south.  The Houston area has several FD's that are not directly connected to a specific municipality, but are State sanctioned "Emergency Service Districts" or ESD's.  Multiple stations in a single ESD can have addresses in different cities, which makes finding them a real treat!

 

I began at Mont Belvieu, previously known as the Barber's Hill FD.  I have photographed here before (2005) when the apparatus had blue stripes, but they have been changed to green to match the fleets of the Mont Belvieu EMS and PD.  I now have shots of Engine 2 in both schemes.

This is Mont Belvieu's first aerial.  As you can see, the sun was playing hide and seek with the clouds.....

My next stop was the North Montgomery FD.  They currently operate from five stations.  I have visited twice before, but I knew they had several newer apparatus.  I began at Station 91 (Headquarters) and I'm glad that I did.  Almost every rig was there and I got everything I wanted and was gone in about 25 minutes!

I was unable to photograph Engine 91, a twin to Engine 94.  It had a damaged roll-up door and was being repaired inside the station.

The one rig that was not there was Engine 95, which I believe is yet another Ferrara.

Dave,

 

Thanks for posting these.  You've gotten to visit many of the same stations that I've wanted to see ... you saved me some dollars and travel time!
