I had to run down to Camden County to meet with a client today and actually stopped by CHFD Station 6 (brand new and just occupied 10 days ago). The foam unit was there and in service, but the only lettering on it was a small CHFD maltese cross on the cab doors. Makes sense as to why it hasn't gotten any additional lettering/striping, but CHFD's policy on no apparatus photography doesn't. The station lieutenant was very friendly, he tried on my behalf, but the big boss wouldn't allow it, due to 'homeland security' concerns, I was told I'd have to fill out a request letter and it would be decided at a later date if I could photograph it. Oh well, if it's going to get the new graphics on it at some point, I'll just wait until that happens and hopefully I'll be able to post the results here.

Yes thats the policy on photography. You can thank a bunch of Buffs who don't know how to act for that policy. Too many guys posting/listing bad info and being to pushy when their was a open door policy. Guys thinking there photos were more important than the fact that it was a working fire station. Only takes one, remember.
