This & That from Here & There

[GA_Dave]

Yeah, I know, it's been forever since I've posted anything new. I've taken several trips, but most were with other 'pixers who have already posted their shots. In between, I've shot a bit of stuff myself, so I'll be posting those here over the next week or so. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did shooting them.



Going back to July, I posted some rigs from Leoma, TN. This shot of their tanker was still in the camera and I didn't get it developed until recently. Tanker 20 is a 1992 IH 4900/E-One 1000/2000, #9752.



On a sentimental note, that piece of blue car visible in the background is my 1992 Dodge Spirit. That was the last road trip with that car, it was retired with 280,000+ miles on it. It had been my "ride" for over 5 years.

The next outing was the Panhandle-Gulf Coast trip in August with Ron, Mark, Jim and Ernie. On the way down to Tallahassee, I stopped at Moultrie, GA and shot a few. Rescue 1 is a 2006 Freightliner M2/Pierce Encore, #17701.

I also stumbled across this sweet older rig, now in reserve service. Snorkel 11 is a 1978 Ford C/Pirsch 1000/500/55' Snorkel, #PN-71.

Between the Florida trip and the F.R.I. show in Atlanta, my buddy Dan Decher came down and we added a few more. Fayette County, GA has placed two E\-One quints into service at Stations 8 and 10. Quint 10 is a 2007 Typhoon 1500/500/75', #131846.

We went in search of Union City's new quint, but found no one at either station. We then spotted them at a local eatery and got these shots in the parking lot. Engine 2 is a 2007 Pierce Dash 1500/710/40F, #19165.

Engine 3 is a 2007 Pierce Dash 1500/460/40F/75' quint, #19164.

Question for anyone who's company runs these style cabs or has seen the inside of one. How big are they inside? They look like they provide a substantial amount of room.



Also, that IS a unique looking Sutphen CU
