Stormy Weather - Elk Garden, WV - Parade, 07/05/13
#1
I was invited to judge Elk District FD's annual parade on Friday July 5th. in Elk Garden, WV. So between judging I was able to grab a couple of photos.

 

The weather went from Sunshine and not a cloud in the sky to dark clouds and a down pour within the hour, so some of the photos suffered because of the weather......

 

There was one rig attending the event that was making it's first public appearance, and I really wanted to grab a couple of shots of it.

 

But, First up is Elk District's former Engine 144

 

1944 Chevy pumper now owned by a former Chief of the department.    

Mechanical engineers build weapons, whereas civil engineers build targets.





When the man at the door said," Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms", I, naturally assumed it was a delivery!

Couple of reasons why I liked the Mt. Storm rig...

For a small body, the rig carries it's equipment well.
