Hawaii Trip 2013

Cool shot. I'm interested in the Truck, does anyone know if this is a new Company? We stay out at Ko Olina just outside Kapolei and didn't know of an East Kapolei station( 43?)? I know that they ran a rear mount tower out of the Kapolei Station (Station 40). The little background I can see int he shot looks like one of the lagoons at Ko Olina?

 

I just returned from vacationing on Oahu and was able to shoot two new HFD fire stations. Here is a pic of the new HFD East Kapolei Station 43. It's located on a two acre site, in an area where dense developement is planned.  It will also serve as the first "regional fire station," featuring an emergency depot, a four story training tower and a tactical training ground.  The engine company was housed in two portable trailers while construction was in progress. Ladder 43 is now also assigned, and through a window I was able to see a white Ford F550 flatbed equiped with a skid, CAFS, and marked as Brush 43.
