While in the neighborhood I stopped off at Fairfax County station 19 to try and snap a few of their Engine and Rescue. First off, their primary Rescue rig is in Florida and not due back anytime soon. The reserve county Rescue they are using in the meantime will not fit in FS19, so it's running out of FS37. The OIC of Engine 19 refused to allow the chauffeur to pull out the Engine for me because I didn't "work for" the sites I would post the pics on. Hadn't heard that one before... but I will say it isn't the first or second time I have received "bad vibes" or a general reluctance from some crews in Fairfax, as much as I hate to say it. When I photographed Tanker 41 I was assigned a "minder" to follow me around the entire time I was at the station...

Thats odd? I'll say I havent been to 19 yet. But I've never had a "babysitter assigned to me". By and large I've never had a big prob in FFX except in 01 post 9-11.
