Next up, as we ventured to The Keys, was this 200? Chevrolet van, a turtle ambulance.  Now I've seen everything!  It belongs to The Turtle Hospital!  Only in The Keys!

By no means did we shoot every rig in The Keys but we did hit both airports.  First up is Marathon Airport.  "Shrek" as it is called, is a 1976 Oshkosh T6 with a 1950ish pump, 2500 gallon water tank and 50 gallon foam tank.  Yep, that's what they said.

Easing on down the road to the Key West Int'l Airport, we found three rigs.  First up was this unknown year Oshkosh T1500, 1950/1500/450F/500H rig known as ARFF 107.  The airport fire station is operated by City of Key West firefighters.
