Hey Steve;
When did you shoot these ? Go back and look at posts 1246 & 1247 in this thread. We both shot these in front of the same tree !!! Mine are from May 2008.

Last one is the brush truck. Manakin also runs two ambulances, but I did not photograph either. A lowboy had backed in behind me to load a bobcat, and I didn't realize I had chopped off the front bumper.

Augusta County FS 10 has a new Squad 10 in service. It is a 2008 ALF Eagle that provides HAZMAT, technical rescue, vehicle rescue, and other squad duties. It replaces both a HAZMAT truck (1980 Ford/Hackney) and medium size squad (1987 International/Swab).
Here is a FD I have wanted to get to for a long time.
Orkney Springs is located in Shenandoah County not to far from the West Virginia state line.
Several years ago, the FD and rescue squad were seperate organizations. They have since joined together and the department is buidling a brand new station next to the old rescue squad buidling. In the meantime, the old rescue squad trucks are housed at the old rescue squad building and the fire trucks are at the current fire station down the road.

This was photographed on Mount Jackson VFD just off of I81 in Shenandoah County. Wagon 18-1 is on loan to Mount Jackson.
Last for this segment, and this might surprise those who know the apparatus at Mount Jackson.
This is their brand new 21-2, a 2009 Internationl 4300/Horton. Interesting colors, considering the department (fire and EMS are now combined) now runs a variety of apparatus with red, yellow/white, and green/white.
Not long ago, the department purchased a 1989 Pierce engine from Prince Frederick, Maryland painted red and white. It is now at the Singer shop in Roanoke getting some body work done and rehabed. And yes, it is suppose to return in the new department colors of green and black. That should be interesting.
