North Montgomery County VFD, with its cool blue apparatus is always a treat to shoot.



Here is their newest rig, and their first aerial.

What is the story behind the "Carolina Blue" color scheme on the vehicles?

I believe they originally had a different color scheme, but changed to blue when they purchased a 1967 Ward LaFrance used from Washington Twp, NJ. The members liked the blue truck so much they made all future purchases in this color scheme. Someone else may have more details or perhaps even a shot of one of their rigs prior to going blue, which I believe was in the mid-1970's.
