This & That from Here & There

[GA_Dave]

After completing Evans County, except Engine 21 that was in the shop, I still had most of the afternoon left with no planned targets.  I decided to go to Vidalia, since I had not been there in several years.  When I got to their first station, the bays were wide open, the Knocker I shot years ago was sitting in the otherwise empty bays and not a soul was to be found.  I waited a bit, but no one showed up.  I went to find the other station and again, bay doors wide open, a 75' E One quint sat inside, but no one there.  I waited some more.  I listened to radio traffic from the station speaker, but nothing that told me where they were.  No smoke in the sky.  I tried again at the first station, but still no one there.  By then, I had been in town over an hour.  I gave up and headed to Swainsboro.  When I got to their station, it was closed up, vacant, abandoned.  Calling "Tech Support" (my son), I obtained the address of the new station, only a few blocks away.  It is a shared station with Emanuel County, with several apparatus from both departments.
