Hawaii Trip 2013

[Juice]

Next stop was the island of Hawai'i, more commonly known as the Big Island.  Hawai'i is 4,000 square miles, making it the largest island in the U.S and comprising 62% of the land area of the State of Hawai'i.  The population is about 185,000. 

 

Best as I can determine, the Hawai'i County Fire Department has 20 stations (10 paid, 10 volunteer), covering the island.  They also run the EMS service out of the fire stations, too.

 

I stayed on the Kona (west) side of the island but unfortunately had very little time to pay any station visits.  So, the best I could do was visit a couple of stations (6 and 12) and grab a few quick shots.

 

Station 6 - Captain Cook

This station had no front ramp to speak of, the back was crowded with police and it was raining, so I didn't even ask to pull the rig out.

Appears to be a Pierce Dash, the last cab style made before doing away with the Dash.
