What an interesting week this has been for me in terms of fire station visits. I had the opportunity to visit Dulles Airport (already posted) as well as make my way down I81 in Virginia to the Virginia/Tennessee line in Bristol, Va. Along the way, I had the opportunity to stop by several fire stations that I have wanted to visit, including a visit to see the "Twins", which I will show you shortly.
Heading from Winchester, Virginia south on I81, I wanted to visit the Mt. Jackson VFD in Shenandoah County. Not to long ago, the Mount Jackson volunteer fire department and the Mt. Jackson volunteer rescue squad joined together to form the "Mt. Jackson Rescue & Fire". The rescue squad station is now closed, and all apparatus are housed at the fire station, which is a coverted elementary school. Mt. Jackson is selling four fire trucks (2 engines, tower, and a Ford F mini).
They recently acquired this 1989 Pierce Lance 1250/750 with job number E4898 from the Prince Frederick, Maryland VFD. It is now running as Engine 21 in Mt. Jackson (it is not one of the engines to be sold).
