A large part of my collection was purchased from a GOOD man, John Floyd. I give him FULL credit on his work, although I may miss something. Thanks John. Also Scott Mattson, Warren Jenkins, Michael Schwartzberg, and Mike Sanders. Thanks Guys.

I LIKE THE CFD CHEVY TAHOES BETTER, THAT RED LOOKS WAY BETTER ON THE CHEVYS THAN THE LATEST BATCH OF FORDS. JUST MY 2 CENTS. / JIMMY LONG/FIREBOX 73/ ESSEX,MD/

I was able to get some photos of the new fast recue boat 688. I shot both sides and also an interesting sequence of diver recovery with the front diver door deployed. I was hip deep in water as I waded out to get these shots so that accounts for the drastic rise in Lake Michigan water level <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />



This boat is quartered seasonally at the CPD marine safety station near navy pier, at night the manpower (3) stays in eng 13's house and responds to the boat in a spare buggy of some kind. During the day we dispatch them via radio on the Main frequency.

Great photos of the boat and divers.......



What ever became of the latest bids for trucks? Did they ever settle that and award the contract to anyone?



Thanks in advance.
