Speaking of Rockwell, Nc. one of the stations We stopped at after we left the show was Rockwell Rural FD. Shot their newest Engine. But I was in love with this



1984 Kenworth cab/Salsbury rescue body. Former Bethesda-Chevy Chase, MD. This rig was at the Pentegon during 9-11. A real treat to shoot.

Always thought that this was a really neat rig. However, I was under the impression that on 9/11, this was a reserve that when placed back into service, remained at BCCRS headquarters, and it was their newest heavy rescue (and a bunch of ambulances) that went to the Pentagon? Corrections welcome....

No problem, as I said, I'm going on memory only, no guarantees that I'm right at all.

I believe you are correct. When we bought this rig it had been in reserve status since they had the new rescue to replace it. I don't recall them telling us that this rig was at the pentagon.

Concord Air 1

Thanks for posting, I was not sure if this truck was still around or not. At one time, Concord had 2 of these; one that served as R1 and the other served as R5. When Rescue 7 came into service as a dedicated rescue company, they got rid of one of the FL60/ALF's. I believe it was sold to Florence,SC.

Here's a couple from the Spencer Antique Fire muster. I was dissappointed with the turn out. Only a few trucks there. Met up with fellow fire pix'r Micah Bodford. Shot a couple of other area rigs away from the show. I wont post them all, so he can. BUT,Here's my Favs....



Conover, Nc 1976 Kenworth / Pierce stick

Yeah, unfortunately the Spencer muster was a huge disappointment. A total of 12 trucks were there but the crowd was pretty good sized. Hopefully it will pick back up next year.



As for the old Conover truck, it is definitely something you don't see everyday. It's a 1976 Kenworth W900/Pierce 2000(downgraded to 1500gpm)/300/50'TS that started out serving St. Timothy's VFD. St. Timothy's dissolved to form City of Conover station 2 where it served until 2007 as 15-Ladder 2. It is now privately owned by a big rig truck collector.

THIS is the rig that I hoped to own one day when I saw it posted on here several years ago. My god, what I would give. Wonder if I can make an offer to the owner?

30+ It's a pretty good size show. They use to have it in Greensboro every year and then moved it to Raleigh last year.

This truck looks a lot like the Seagrave Orange,VA ran but Orange is not in Prince William. Hopefully someone will know for sure. Btw, great shots of the Webb Rd fire Chris!

Haven't talked to some people recently but a while back I was told this rig was county rig up towards Manassas VA so I'm assuming Prince William. I'm gonna try to get the truck #'s tomarrow or Tuesday.
