   The guys at Station 18 were awesome!  After we explained that we wanted to get one example of each different type/brand apparatus in their department, they offered to take us to Station 5, which is a volunteer house, and pull out their engine for us.  There are still several of these rigs in service, but all are at volunteer stations.  They also told us the best locations to find other rigs we'd want, including another volunteer house, Station 17.  They advised going to Station 34 to provide us access, like they had done for us at Station 5.  We did and the guys at 34's were just as awesome, jumping on their pumper (another 2015 KME) and meeting us at Station 17.  Although it took a total of three days, we got every target we wanted in their FD.

   Our next stop was the City of Loris, a volunteer FD that is separate from the County.  It took a bit to track down a driver and the one we found was an older Gentleman, who moved at much less than lightening speed, but he was a great guy and moved all seven rigs for us.
