The Department is in the middle of completing major renovations to three stations. Also the 1-engine, 2-squrts and 1-rear mount were all put in service last year with a new stiping package. Just hasnt been the priority to strip the Foam unit yet.

I had to run down to Camden County to meet with a client today and actually stopped by CHFD Station 6 (brand new and just occupied 10 days ago). The foam unit was there and in service, but the only lettering on it was a small CHFD maltese cross on the cab doors. Makes sense as to why it hasn't gotten any additional lettering/striping, but CHFD's policy on no apparatus photography doesn't. The station lieutenant was very friendly, he tried on my behalf, but the big boss wouldn't allow it, due to 'homeland security' concerns, I was told I'd have to fill out a request letter and it would be decided at a later date if I could photograph it. Oh well, if it's going to get the new graphics on it at some point, I'll just wait until that happens and hopefully I'll be able to post the results here.
