Bruce,
Very interesting....thank you for the information. I don't think there will be any problems with someone getting photos once it is lettered at Dale City.

Dr. Feelgood's the chief there, and I'm sure he'll expand on it, but it's a dedicated reserve piece for DCVFD.

Maybe they are starting a mid county truck company out of 18! That chief there is a crazy man I here, last fall he was looking to get a couple of 5 ton 6X6 old military cargo trucks incase of flooding or heavy snow so they could evac citzens or transport docs, nurses, cops, firefighters, ect anytime, anywhere, in any weather but he was told he was crazy and it never floods in Prince William County.
You can never tell with that department <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' />

Shore,
He's not that crazy!!
On the way home from the Apple Blossom Festival Firemag, Roto Ray, and I stopped at a couple of Fauquier County stations.
First up is Lois VFD.
This one is a bit different. None of us had ever heard of this tanker manufacturer before. Anyone else have shots of rigs built by this compnay ?
Next up is Goldvein VFD
Here is one from Whaleyville, City of Suffolk Station 8. Need some help here. This is Ex-Evergreen VFD in Prince Willaim County, Va. When I first looked at this rig I was sure it had a 750 gallon tank but the operator said it was 500 gallons. After checking the records of Firemag, Mike Sanders, and another web site, we are split 2 & 2 on 750 & 500 gallons. Anyone who has a good list of E\-One serial numbers please help us out here.

John: Lessllie Tank Company was originally started by the Williams Brothers in Rock Hill, SC. In later years they changed the name to Workhorse Fire Apparatus where they built mostly tankers and brush units for departments in North and South Carolina. Several years ago they sold their interests in the company and now manage the Seagrave facility in Rock Hill.
