Squad 4 is a 2005 Chevrolet/Brand FX

We then headed over to the local marina, which is actually in Oneida County to photograph Brewerton's 2009 Metalcraft Marine 750 gpm fireboat.
Our next stop was Cicero station 1 and the clouds had managed to break for a bit.
Cicero Engine 1 is a 2010 Pierce 2000/1000/30
Cicero station 2 houses Engine 2, also a 2010 Pierce 2000/1000/30. And the clouds started moving in again.
No one showed up at our next stop, so we moved over to Mattydale's firehouse. By now the heavy clouds had rolled in and thunderstorm warnings were being issued. Under the clouds, we shot Engine 2, a 2010 KME 2000/750
Squad 4 is a 2016 KME 1500/750 rescue pumper. This is the new color scheme being adopted. There are plans to replace Quint 3 with a new truck that will be in this color.
One of the highlights of the trip is the reserve engine, formerly Engine 2, still available for calls. This Hahn 1500/750 was bought new in 1987.
Our next stop was at the Lyncourt Fire Station, however, by the time we got there, the rain had started. We were able to get the ladder out, and as can be seen by the photo, the storm front was moving in fast. The skies opened up just as we finished photographing this, and the wind and rain just rolled in. Then a tornado warning was issued for that area, and we could hear all the other departments we had lined up for the remainder of the afternoon, getting dispatched to call after call. At this point, we decided to call it a day.
Lyncourt Truck 2 is a 2018 Spartan/Toyne 2000/750/110 foot, photographed with some mean looking clouds behind it!
Sunday morning and we met up with John Keneally (CNY firetrucks) for the day. We had much better cooperation with the sun, however we were shut out at 3 different departments as no one showed up, but we made the best of it.
Taunton station 1 was our first stop and we shot Engine 6, a 2015 Seagrave 1750/1000 |
