Refinery Terminal Fire Company Corpus Christi Texas recently placed this 2008 FFA in service. I went down on the 4th of July to take a night shot of the rig.
I learned a lot - like when it is dark, being different completely from my normal shooting in bright sunlight - the camera shutter stays open a lot longer than normal. This, in conjunction with learning that the camera setting I use for shooting (landscape) automatically keeps the flash from working (I never needed the flash in the daytime) so I didn't have the flash to help. All that said, my 35MM will probably be garbage, and out of the 30+ shots I took with the digital, I got 9. All in all, I believe it was a great opportunity and it came out well, considering my lack of experience in night shooting.

When RRVFD disbanded they donated there equipment/apparatus to other area depts.
Does anyone from the Dallas Fort Worth area know why DFW Airport is selling one of their 2000 Pierce 61' Skyboom quints? I saw it for sale on a for sale site. Curious why they are selling the unit.

Nope I shot it with my digital camcorder. Also I was told that either E32 or E33 will be at the A&M show.
