Virginia - Here and There
This old girl started her life In Chesterfield VA, as one of several pumpers bought in 1979.



Other than being repainted from chrome yellow and a new tank installed, she still looks the same and has a lot of life in her yet!

This ride started out as a ambulance in Prince Edward Rescue Squad. They are using it as an utility but can be used as a ambulance if so needed.

John,



Thanks for the shots of HS. I almost chose HS for school. Had I went there one of the reasons would have been the student run fd. I chose another option but I always kind of wish I had chosen HS.

FYI: Shenandoah Valley Fire has most of the Apparatus Rosters that were on VaFireNews.com with the exceptions of Fairfax, Loudoun, Richmond City, Tazewell and Virginia Beach. Im still formatting these counties for the website. I hope to have all the counties online within the week.



Take a look and help us keep these rosters up to date. Also a few members on here are allowing us to use their photos and if you wanna us to use your photos please send them to us. We thank everyone that is helping us with this.



Please pass the word and take a look around.

The career crews from Rescue 4 run this as a Truck Company when the Rescue rig is OOS

I have also heard rumors that the reserve Mack Rescue rig (walk in) may be rehabbed in the near future.
