Next from last Sat was Oconee County Emergency service day. (very disappointed, 4 fire trucks from Seneca city and 1 Oconee county. All the rest was primarily law enforcement.)

Yesterday, went to the South Carolina State Fire Prevention Parade. Met up with Fire Pix'r Drew James. The Weather was less than ideal. In and out of the rain all day. At least it quit long enough to shoot in the staging area and during the parade. Unfortunately, it kept sprinkling when we were trying to go to different stations. oh well. 

First is IRMO, SC. they have just replaced their fleet, 2 engines, 1 smaller '75 ladder, and this 100' tower. all Ferrara. Unfortunately due to the rain didn't get the engines or ladder at the stations, but here is the platform.

By far the most interesting truck of the day was Antioch Rescue 61. I have never seen a top-mount panel on a Brush type truck before.
