FLORIDA RIGS

[Guest]

Today, myself and Kelvin Cater (kiddo76) ventured out locally to try and catch up on couple rigs we needed. As most of you may already know, Dania Beach Fire Rescue will be absorbed by Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue come Jan. 29th so the pressure is on to try and photograph their entire fleet before the transition.

The highlight of the day is thanks to Kelvin. Passing through a Publix shopping center, Kelvin notices BSO R6 (Port Everglades) sitting in the parking lot, the lieutentant inside waiting for his crew to return. Kelvin turns and says "wouldn't it be awesome to shoot Chemical-6 today?" Insisting, Kelvin says "come on, let's ask" (thinking to myself, I said... "yea right, the clearance we would need for that) so... finally, I gave in and said alright go ask! 5, 10 minutes go by and he returns and says... Okay, we can't get into the Port, but the lieutentant on the rescue called the station and they are going to bring the huge chemical truck to us!!!
