I will finish up with Chatham VFD located in Pittsylvania County not far from Danville, Virginia. I was heading home early afternoon for a longer trip back to Northern Virginia when I came up to the Chatham exit. Ever had one of those moments when you recognize a town/city name and think they have something a bit unusual but you just cannot remember what? I really did a quick head debate whether to get off the exit and find the FD knowing that it would put me behind schedule to get home. Glad I did.
As with many of these small Virginia towns, nobody was home at the FD but the business across the street told me the Fire Chief worked at the appliance store in town and I might find him there. After peaking into the station bay doors, I definitely wanted to find the Fire Chief. I did, and he was extrememly nice and had one of Chatham's Captains meet me at the station 15 minutes later for photos.
First up at Chatham is Engine 211, a 1995 Freightliner 80/E-One 1250/1000/35 with s/n 15335.
