Lower Currituck operates two of these trucks.  They were originally marked as "engines" and the re-classified as tankers.

 

One runs from the Waterlilly station, and the other from Powell Point's Station (near the Wright Brothers bridge)

Final visit this week was Moyock.  This is the first station you find when crossing over from Virginia to North Carolina on your way to OBX.

 

It has been awhile since I have visited Moyock and was able to photograph the fleet in digital.

Few from a family vacation last Summer in the Outer Banks.

 

From Nags Head is Engine 161, a 1995 Emergency One Sentry, 1250/750.  Previously ran as Engine 16 and Engine 21, this is now a reserve unit.

 

   

[fighttheenemy666]

Storm units are found at virtually every fire station and are used as high-water units.  Storm 21 is this sharp 2006 AM General 6x6 that had work done in 2014 by Nags Head FD.  Originally came from Fort Bliss, Texas.

 

   

[fighttheenemy666]

Moving to the Southern Beaches, the Hatteras Island Rescue Squad's apparatus can be found earlier in this thread.  Their newest unit is Rescue 1, a 2011 Chevy Silverado.

 

   

[fighttheenemy666]

The Buxton VFD recently placed in service "Fordzilla", a 2012 Ford F-550/Quality Truck Bodies/CET, 250/300/20A.

 

   

 

Couple of Storm units sitting outside of the Frisco VFD, Station 42.

 

   

[fighttheenemy666]

A couple of Storm units are in service in Hatteras.  

 

   

 

Sad state for Hatteras's antique engine, a 1960 Dodge/Howe, 500/500.  For a long time this engine was the only fire truck along the entire stretch of the Southern Beaches.

 

   

[fighttheenemy666]

Wrapping up with a visit to the Avon VFD, also along the stretch known as the Southern Beaches.

 

Engine 46 is a large 2010 Pierce Velocity, 1500/1000.

 

   

 

The new delivery during our visit was Ladder 46, this nice 2013 E\-One Cyclone II, 1500/480/20A, 100'.  Avon's first ladder truck.

 

   

 

 

[fighttheenemy666]

Avon's other two pumpers, Engine 462 is a 1988 E\-One Cyclone, 1250/1000 that is the dept.'s backup.  Engine 461 is a 1991 International/E-One, 1250/1200 that is used as the 'out of town' truck.

 

   

 

     

[fighttheenemy666]

Wrapping up Avon's apparatus (with the exception of a brush truck that was OOS) and this update.  Utility 46 is a 2003 Ford F-350 and Storm 46 is a 1985 AM General 6x6 five ton.
