Outer Banks, North Carolina - Department profiles

[mnsand]

Here is another engine sitting at Crawford's Sligo station...it is being stored for the Knotts Island, NC (also in Currituck County) because Knotts Island is currently having a new station built.



Here is what is interesting.....Knotts Island owns two Pierce engines that originally were built for a fire department in Michigan.



Photos of Knotts Island apparatus are on page 2 of this thread. One of the photos is a Pierce that came from Delphi Charter TWP Fire Department in Holt, Michigan. Knotts Island now owns a second Pierce from Holt, MI.



This engine is a 1992 Pierce Dash 1250gpm. No one knew the exact water tank size. It carries job number E6969. Right now, with the delivery of Crawford TWP's new Pierce tanker, this Pierce destined for Knotts Island sits outside. I wonder if it will find a new home until the Knotts Island station is complete?



You might notice in the background a white fire truck - that is ex- Chesapeake, Virginia that is owned by Crawford TWP. It is a PemFab/National Foam (I posted a photo of it in this thread) that was to be stationed at the Crawford station near the airport and re-painted black over red. Unfortunately, Crawford was waiting on some grants from the airport to get this rehabed, which have not happened. Until it does (or if it does), this PemFab will stay outside.
