[quote name='Shoe' post='253123' date='Oct 9 2008, 20:27 ']This shot was taken by Greg Simpson at the Pirkle Warehouse fire - 598 Wells Street. Capt. Dan O'Neill is on the left. I don't know who the officer in the middle is and I am on the right (in black). All of the hose had been stripped off except about 400' of the 5". The date was November 8, 1993. It was the same night that 4 firefighters had been critically burned on Fair Street earlier in the day. (Williams, Morrow, Jordan and Covington).[/quote]



Shoe,



So is AFD returning to Black Gear or why did the switch to tan happen? We are finely returning to black after a twelve year depature to tan. Thankgoodness black is back. Also I never knew AFD had salad bowl helmets (metro) what was the reasoning. Thanks and stay safe brother.
