FLORIDA RIGS

[kieferfire]

Some old pics from the former Port Everglades FD. Port Everglades FD was an industrial department, that protected the Port Everglades seaport and the industrial sites in the port area. Many years ago, the fire protection in the port area was taken over by the Broward County Sheriff Department ( Station 6 ). The slides and photos were taken by Bob Milnes and Garry Kadzielawski. I think, the FD was featured in an FAJ article many years ago.



I remember, that the Port Everglades fire apparatus had nicknames like "Snuff", "Puff" and "Enough" or so. The trucks had an interesting color-scheme. All these apparatus are long gone.
