Our final stop in Jacksonville was Station 56 at Cecil Airport, a former Naval Air Station converted into a public-use facility.  Unlike Station 16, we were welcomed with open arms.

This rig was parked near the station and is one of two apparatus owned by a JFD Firefighter.  HireAFireTruck.com is a company that provides a fire engine for special events.  This one was once owned by a "Lone Oak VFD", but that's all we could find out.

Thanks to the "eagle eyes" of Mark Carr, we managed to locate the same guy's other rig, parked inside a fenced lot a few blocks away from Station 56.  We attempted to shoot through and over the fence, but those didn't come out too well.  Then a Florida Forestry transporter passed us and into a gate that we had not seen on the other side of a building.  We asked the driver if we could shoot the pumper and he said okay.

The next day was sunny and we headed northeast from Ron's house toward Palatka.  On the way, we caught this one at a Walmart.

Thanks, Mike!  I figured that you would have that number.  The date on the Reg. tag said 1978, which I knew was incorrect, but it definitely has a 1250 pump.  Wasn't sure about the tank, but it was small.
