Over the past two weeks, I vacationed to several places including West Virginia. Although the weather was unsurprisingly difficult, we did manage to squeeze some sun to shoot the better part of the Wheeling Fire Department and a few pieces in Charleston.
Just for some overview, Wheeling operates six frontline engines, two reserves, one frontline truck, two reserves, one rescue truck, three rescue squads, and one shift commander. Each frontline unit is staffed with two personnel; however, the rescue company can go up to four depending on the nature of the incident (the ambulance it is housed with then goes out of service). Despite their tough staffing though, the Wheeling FD was one of the most hospitable fire departments I have visited and a sincere thanks goes out to them for accomodating us in our photos. So, on with the photos.......
