The guys at Ray City told me about the next FD, located about ten miles north of Nashville, in the small town of Alapaha. They said that Alapaha had a "bunch of trucks". Crammed into one building are eight pieces, five that were donated to them from New Jersey and still lettered for their former FD's. A Ford C/Hahn and a Ford F/Cherefko, both from East Freehold, along with a Duplex/TASC from Whitesville, all had dead batteries. A Hahn from Jackson Mills fired right up, but would not budge. The brakes were frozen. The driver immediately called the mechanic. This is their front line engine! The only x-Jersey rig that I was able to shoot was also a former Whitesville rig.
