Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous

[Roto-Ray]

Finally for this installment is the department's Snorkel. Originally operated by the Fredericksburg, VA FD, the rig was purchased by Singer Associates when FFD took delivery of a new Pierce tower ladder. Soon thereafter, Farmville, VA ordered a Pierce Quantum rear-mount aerial to replace their Hahn tower which had been dead-lined. Desperately needing a loaner aerial, Singer "gave" Farmville this Snorkel until their Quantum was delivered a couple of years ago. The rig then made it's way north on Route 15 about 40 miles to it's current home in Zion Crossroads. Confusing enough?



Hope everyone enjoyed....
