We were now beginning to fight the first signs of the early sunset with daylight savings time. From Philomont we headed towards Round Hill, where the career staff was waiting for our arrival.
Don't confuse Loudoun County's Round Hill with the Round Hill FD in Frederick County (near Winchester). These two communities are actually not that far from each other and have the same name. For those of you who attend the Firemen's parade in Winchester each year (Apple Blossom), the Round Hill VFD from Frederick County attends each year.
First up at Station 4 was Rescue Engine 4, a 2005 Seagrave Concorde CB-50KK 1500/750/50 with serial number 78C89.
By the way, keeping Loudoun County fire trucks "clean" has been a challenge this year with the drought conditions. Loudoun County continues to be under a water emergency, and my understanding is that all of the fire stations have restrictions on washing the apparatus.
