Hey Dave. Good to hear from you, youve been kinda quiet around here.

I think Affton might be getting ready to replace 1124. Right now two of their reserve Ford C's are for sale. Also they have a website now it's [url="http://www.afftonfire.com/"]www.afftonfire.com[/url]

Phil, I am on Logan-Rogersville FPD. Shawn Bittle, who runs with 28, used to be on LR back in the day. He brings the Explorers down every summer. Told me when I wanted to come up and ride with them. I might take him up on it some day.

I lucked out this morning and got a couple good shots.

First up is Kirkwood reserve 1592 with engine 1524 in the background.

Next on my way home, I was heading down Lindbergh when I came to Mueller, the road Mehville #5 is. So I decided to turn down to see if any other trucks were at the station for training. As I was going down the road they began to pull the platform out. Then I sat across the street snapping a few pics.

They then began to tilt the cab to check the engine.

The firemen saw getting my shots and they signaled for me to come over, I wasnt going to turn down the opportunity. I needed some shots of the rescue truck and engine. Then they began pulling the ambulance out as well.

The ladder again. I kinda like this shot.

   

[Guest]

I know, I know...its an indoor shot, but it didnt turn out too bad. The lighting is actually better for this shot than the outdoors. They offered to pull the rescue out, but I said it was good where it was. To pull it out they would have had to move the ambulance parked out front. I thought it might be a bit of a hassle.

Here is the engine. Also indoor, but would have been worse outside. I believe this engine may have a new one on order. Their bays actually arent too bad for indoor shots.
