Iowa Rigs
Next up is the Amana Colonies.  There are actually seven villages in the Colonies; Main Amana, East Amana, High Amana, Middle Amana, South Amana, West Amana and Homestead.  All are served by the Amana Fire Department from two stations.

 

Engine 1 at the main station in Middle Amana.

This KME rig had just been lettered the week before, just in time for Amana's Maifest celebration.

Aerial 1 does fit inside the main station.  Not by much, but it does fit.  Fireman

The weather was problematic when I visited but I kept shooting.

The other Amana station is located in Homestead.  A pumper and a brush truck are based here, and some volunteers report for calls at Station 2.

 

Engine 2.

There's Pierce badges on the lower part of the Ford grill.

During late May I stopped by Hills, IA, just south of Iowa City, just as Hills VFD was being paged to an electrical fire at a business a half block from their station. There wasn't much action to shoot, but I did take some apparatus photos.
