The gentleman at Frisco who moved apparatus around was also a member at Hatteras Rescue Squad and said he would meet us at the station to get information and photos of their newer Rescue 4, a beach rescue unit. I asked if anything new was at the Hatteras station down the road, and he told me the Ford C pumper I had been trying for a number of years to get photos of was now parked out in the back of the station permanately out of service (see previous posts regarding photos from Hatteras).
I figured if I was going to get any shot of this fire truck that had managed to elude me for many years, I had better do it now. So we drove down to Hatteras with plans on going back to the Hatteras Rescue Squad for a photo of their Rescue 4.
The Ford does appear to be out of service for good. It had some body damage on the drivers side and was sitting in the back of the station looking a bit neglected. So, this photo will have to do.
