In Jan 06 I had the chance to visit with the Blacks as a guest and had a wonderful time. I am going to post some pics and some detail shots I took. First off is the plaque that is posted on the rig which reads: COVINA CROWN This Crown hold the record for the fastest ocean to ocean crossing of the United States by a motorized Fire Apparatus. The record of 86 hours was set in 1990 by Charles Black and Lane Black of the Chesapeake Fire Museum running from Santa Monica Pier to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel The crew and apparatus experienced a 100 degree change in temperature during the trip. At no time was a chase vehicle used in setting this record.
