This & That from Here & There

[GA_Dave]

Yesterday I visited Columbus, GA for the first time in at least ten years to update my photo collection of their apparatus.  The CFD operates 14 engines, 6 ladders, 2 squads, and a decon unit from 14 stations.  There are four 2001 Pierce Saber pumpers on the roster, but every other apparatus was built by E\-One.  The front line pumpers are either Cyclone II or Typhoon models, with one lone Quest that was an emergency purchase of a demo unit due to the loss of a Pierce Saber when the station burned.  Aerial units include a 100' platform quint, two 100' quints, two 78' quints, all on Cyclone II chassis, and one Typhoon 75' quint.
