Our last scheduled stop for the day was at the newly-formed Meadow Branch VFD also in Graham County. They've just formed in the past few years. They had quite the collection of rigs! The sun was quickly fading, but we found one good spot up a small one-lane driveway beside the fire station.
The first rig (and the second rig) are the reasons I wanted to visit Meadow Branch. Last time I shot these rigs, it was in the parking lot across the road from Newell, NC's fire station with Micah Bodford at the wheel. When Newell's fire department closed the doors, both of these rigs were donated to Meadow Branch.
