Iowa Rigs

Time for another small Jones County town.  Olin, IA, is located in the southeast corner of the county and has about 700 residents.  It is also the home to Olin Hose Company.  The station getting prettied up for it's "closeup."

The ambulance service for the surrounding area also runs out of the station.

Rescue rig.  This is a former Linn-Mar School District bus which also serves as a rolling gear carrier and goes to all major calls.  Many of  Olin's volunteers live outside of town so they will meet the bus at the scene.
