The "out of service" apparatus are kept outdoors. These include Engine 30, an older 1972 Ford C/J. Bean (the FD's first pumper. It would not start and will be sold), and a blue utility van. It was "fun" getting Engine 30 started and moved around the garage posts. I was fortunate it started since I was told it had been weeks since it was run. It is scheduled to be sold.
The trip back from Goshen to Northern Virginia was a challenge. Severe storms hit the Northern Virginia area. When I came back by Route 7 outside of Winchester, Virginia, Route 7 was closed in both directions at the Clarke County and Loudoun County lines because the number of fallen trees and downed power lines. I had to travel to West Virginia and find another way home. It was brought to my attention that maybe I could have avoided that entire mess by coming straight home instead of making those "unscheduled stops". No way.
