Behind the fence rigs
#21
Eli Lilly pharmacuticals in Indianapolis had a HME Engine, as well as an ambulance. I believe I saw a Flickr photo by Pierce the other day of a new Engine, not sure what's happened with the HME.  Those trucks, you almost NEVER see outside of Eli Lilly grounds. The ambulance is huge, but does not transport.

More than a few rigs were rebuilt before their 10th birthday in Montgomery County,MD. for example. The increased EMS runs, plus the rush to fully-enclosed rigs, combined with the rust/corrosion/mechanical problems of many 1970s-80s apparatus, led to the thriving rehab industry by that time. Some rigs benefited by the early rebuild, others seemed to wear out anyway.

Is NIHFD permitted to leave the grounds to assist in the county? 

 

Are they dispatched by Montgomery County or do they have their own communications center?

They run with Bethesda Company 20 on a very regular basis actually and catch a shit ton of fire, last year they did 1,880 fire runs and 323 hazmat calls... those numbers do not count ems calls either.  They did 1,595 ems calls on top of the fire and hazmat calls, you can see Bethesda Company 20 from their quarters and run in place of them if they are out on another call... this station can be tough to get because they are out on calls frequently.  We have a board member on here that left NIH to become a firefighter at the Allegheny County Airport (why would you leave The Powerhouse to watch airplanes land!!  Love you Nick LOL), he could fill you in a bit more on the call types and how they run specifically into Montgomery County.  Getting to shoot that station was the highlight of my year in 2012 and still ranks up there with one of my favorites!
