This afternoon, I had the opportunity to photograph the fleet of the Shepherdstown, West Virginia FD. A very special thanks to Chief Morgan and his firefighters for their assistance in getting these shots.
Shepherdstown, WV is located in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, located on the Potomac River about 1 hour outside of Washington, DC. It borders Maryland.
The Shepherdstown Volunteer Fire Department is the oldest in the state, founded in the 1700's, along with Shepherdstown. Their first due consists of a dense downtown main street, and dense area of houses built in the 1700's and 1800's. The district also includes a major university, hundreds of acres of Revolutionary War battlefields, and agricultural properties. They also provide EMS.
They raise all their own money for capital expenditures, such as apparatus purchases, via community fundraising, such as bingo, game dinners, and their famous apple butter.
They are a very proud, and progressive department. They are an all-volunteer department, with 7 live in members. The only career person is the Paramedic provided by the County to them.
Engine 3 is a 2013 Pierce Velocity 2000/750
Rescue Engine 3 is a 2007 Pierce Dash 2000GPM/850 Gal/30 Foam
Truck 3 is a 1997 Pierce Arrow 75' 1500/500
Tanker 3 is a 2000 Mack RD/Semo 2000/3100
Brush 3 is a 2003 Ford F-450 4x4 200/150

Ambulance 3 is a 2007 Ford F-450 4x4/Medtec, which is being replaced in March 2016 with a Dodge/PL Custom
Ambulance 3-1 is a 2007 Ford F-450 4x4/PL Custom, which is being replaced in March 2016 with a Dodge/PL Custom
Duty 3 is a 1995 Chevrolet Suburban assigned to the Duty Officer as a take home vehicle when on duty
Here are some of the photos I got, hope you enjoy.
**EDIT** Had to remove the photos because PhotoBucket is attempting to extort it's members with crazy fees to share a photo on another site and this site doesn't support direct uploading of the size files I have. I'll try to repost these photos on this thread, starting with the newest deliveries. And you can also find more photos of Shepherdstown FD on my
