From Charlottesville I was headed to Danville, Virginia for a meeting the following day.
On Route 29 I saw the sign for Gretna, located in Pittsylvania County. I had never been to this part of the state, but for some reason, Gretna was a name I remembered about something unusual about the department. I am glad I stopped.
The station was closed up tight, and I was beginning to get the late afternoon sun. When I saw from the outside garage windows some of the aparatus inside, I really wanted to find someone. Down the street was a towing company, which is usually a good chance of someone knowing someone at the FD. And it worked. 20 minutes later someone met me at the station.
First up is Engine 223, a 1992 E\-One that was purchased as a demo in 1995.
I know we have some E\-One experts - can someone advise me of the E\-One cab?
