Because Mike ended his latest round with Chesterfield, I though that I might add a couple of other Chesterfield rigs too. I had about an hour to kill today, so I went to Chesterfield and shot a couple of rigs before they left their current assignments.
I'm embarrassed to even post these, as I didn't realize when I was shooting today that I'd left all my camera settings in manual for some low-light shots I took last night. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/machinegun.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> Arrgh! That's the reason that even after Photoshop, they still have a grainy look to them. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Anyhoo, first up is the Reserve Truck, a 1987 Mack CF/Aerialscope 75' model. Prior to being the reserve truck, it ran as Truck 37 from Station 3 in the southern end of the county. Chesterfield has had a number of Scopes, but within the next few months, they'll all be gone, including this one. The department is running out of qualified Scope operators, so when a new Dash platform and a used Quantum aerial arrive in a couple of months, the last two Aerialscopes will be disposed of. My volly county is strongly considering purchasing one of them, a 95-footer, and will meet with Chesterfield officials about this in a couple of weeks.
