Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous

[Roto-Ray]

As always, great photos, Mike. Ron Garber sent me some pix of this rig when he delivered it, but it's nice to get a full 360-degree view of it.



You're correct in not seeing the Sutphen Top/Side Mount before, this is the first of it's kind in the Commonwealth. Sutphen has built a handful of these in the past for different departments throughout the country. I remember that Fire Apparatus magazine did an article about 18 months ago about a department that purchased one, and the reasons that led them to look at this non-mainstream design.



Look forward to your next outing!
