I couldn't find an open topic for West Virginia apparatus, thought I would start one.  Feel free to contribute, this is not just stuff I've got.

 

My dad and I visited Mineral County last summer.  This is a beautiful area with a lot of nice equipment.

 

 

 

Starting off with the Keyser Fire Department, Company 33.  This is the apparatus at their main station.

 

Engine 33-13 is an unusual 1998 ALF Eagle/1999 KME, 1500/750, with KME #4104.  One of two built (other is in Roxburo, NC).

If you are an American LaFrance fan, Keyser is the place for you.  Engine 33-15 is this beautiful 1984 ALF Century, 1250/500, sn- 18109.  I love the deck gun on this one.
