The graphics on the door of Tanker 15.

First, I think the warning light placement on the tanker's grill is bit odd, but to each their own.



Second, notice the two small maltese crosses with badge numbers on the fender. These are a carry-over from Chesapeake FD, and represent the badge numbers of Firefighters Frank Young and John Hudgins, who were both killed at the Advance Auto Parts fire in March 1996. Frank was a founding member of TFPA (Tidewater Fire Photographers Association). Interestingly, the current president of TFPA is a member at Knott's Island. Our own John Friis, Fire175, is a life member of TFPA and can probably shed more light on this for us.



Thanks for the wonderful photos thus far, Mike.
