One of the highlights of my week was a visit to Stumpy Point, NC - Station 19 in Dare County. I have been visiting the OBX for 10+ years but have never made it to Stumpy Point. Let's just say it is a ways out from any other station.
The Chief at Stumpy Point met us and made arrangements to move most of the apparatus around. Stumpy Point is a very small and rural fishing community. The FD is extremely limited on funds. One of their greatest obstacles is just paying the monthly utility bills. As a result, all of the apparatus at Stumpy Point have been donated or sold at a very small price.
First up is Engine 1901, a 1980 Seagrave PB 24068 that was rehabed in 2004 by East Coast Automotive in Norfolk, VA. 1250/1000 with s/n K73963. Stumpy Point received this in 2008. OBX visitors recognize this one? This ran for many years at Nags Head, NC.
