Texas Volunteer Apparatus

[Roto-Ray]

They don't produce nearly as many as they used to. Interestingly, a nearby department (Chesterfield Fire & EMS) had an excellent apparatus lieutenant who worked diligently with Pierce for a couple of years to work out AWS issues on their ladders. Through their work, Pierce/Oshkosh was able to fix a lot of the issues with AWS reliability for all customers, and CFEMS continues to purchase AWS ladders to this day.



Back on track however, I need to see if I can dig out my photos from Annaville and Crosby I took about 8 or 9 years ago. I could spend a year in the Lone Star state photographing volunteer rigs.
