My favorite at Bergton, and it was nice to have the opportunity to drive it around the station grounds to get photographs. I told the Chief of Bergton that I had to resist every temptation to leave my car at the station and drive this one home.
Attack 56 - 1974 Dodge Power Wagon Custom 30/E.W. Stinebaugh & Son 500/300. It originally was delivered new to the Ashburn VFD in Loudoun County, Virginia. Mike Sanders Ashburn, VA

Thanks Mike for posting the Bergton Pictures. Seeing the Power Wagon in such good shape puts a smile on my face. She looks as good if not better than the day it left Ashburn. Wish I could have been there with you....Congratulations to Bergton VFD on the receipt their new piece. The new Attack looks great.
This is one I have been after since it was delivered. Fairfax City has had some unique engine and foam trucks over the years.
Foam Engine 403 is a 2007 Pierce Dash 2000/625/300. Job number 18809. Mike Sanders Ashburn, VA

The Fairfax City Pierce foam unit replaced a foam unit that went to Cherry Hill, NJ. Another older Fairfax City engine I was wondering about was sold not to long ago. I found it by accident this week while traveling to and from Maryland for work.
Fairfax City was running a 1986 Pierce Arrow 1250/500. While visiting a fire station in Frederick County, Virginia, they asked me if I knew about their "new" training and reserve engine for the county. It turns out that Fairfax City donated it to Frederick County and it is kept at the Adminstrative building for fire and police near the Millwood area of the county. It was behind a security fence, and the folks at Frederick County FD were very helpful in moving the Pierce around for photos.

the following will be pics that I took at the West Point Crab Carnival Parade in West Point Virginia. The line up area is not the best for picture taking and you will notice several pics with a glare across the windshield. I tend to go with the any pic is better than no pic attitude. feel free to add any additional info or corrections. hope you enjoy.
First up is a Salvage unit from the Oceana Volunteer Fire Department. it is a 2007 International/ Hackney salvage/air light/ and rehab unit.
Next up is this brush unit from Central King and Queen Volunteer Fire Department. It is a 1984 Chevrolet/ Hagen. For those that have never heard of Hagen, they were a local builder that stll has several units in service in the area. I think they stopped production in the mid to late eighties. anyone that can elaborate please feel free. anyways, this unit is slated for replacement soon.
this next unit is Central King and Queens newest unit, an international/ KME 1250/1250 with rescue style compartments
Next up is a Brush unit From the Dendron Fire Department in Surry County. It is a Ford Super Duty with Slide in unit. I found it interesting that this unit had no roof mounted warning lights only grill lights and one in the windshield. it seems logical since it spends alot of time off road as to not damage a light bar by hitting low hanging branches.
Dendron also still operates this 71 Ford Oren that is still in service. it is the third unit ever owned by the department. it had original paint and is in great shape. The Dendron Fire Department is getting ready to order 2 new pieces of apparatus but this unit will not be replaced.
This Jeep is from the Disputanta Fire Department in Prince George County Va. It is a Wrangler with a small pump and tank in the rear. Prince George is apparently the Jeep Capital of Virginia as it seems that every company in the county has at least one.
Enon Volunteer Fire Department was well represented again this year. First up is the very new Brush 6. it si a 2008 Ford SUper duty with slide in unit.
Enon Tanker 6 is a circa 2000 International/S&S. i believe the stats are 750/ 1850 with a 150 foam cell
