Interesting to see breathing air cylinders on (the exterior of) a pumper.  Do you know if they use them as a cascade system to refill bottles, run air tools, or...?

To be completely honest, I never even noticed them there.  They really didn't want to pull that one out for me and I was more concerned with getting the specs before they backed it into it's dark corner of the station.

   The 2014 Southwestern New York Volunteer Firemen's Convention parade was being held in Bolivar.  Engine 4 was photographed in the staging area.  None of the other apparatus attending were parked conducive to photography, so I grabbed specs while waiting for the parade to start.  I then picked a spot away from the crowds and with a decent background and waited.  The marching units were staged down the street at the high school and the 15 or so apparatus would not head out until all the marching units had stepped off.  From the apparatus staging area to the high school was about a quarter mile.  This was the area where I had planned to photograph from.  When the apparatus began to move, they did so at the highest possible speed, only having to slam on brakes when they caught up to the end of the marching units, but much too fast for me to get non-blurry shots as they passed me.  Many of the drivers looked right at me as they went by, stepping on the accelerator.  Idiots! 

   Frustrated, I moved on.....

   This engine is for sale, sitting on the lawn next to the station, along with an ambulance, making this angle about the best I could get.  The only member there didn't know what year it was and the cab was locked.

   Several years ago, Ellington purchased a GMC 6500/Marion (sold by Young, #89N912) rescue truck from Dunkirk, NY and remounted the body on a new chassis.
