[quote name='Chester911' post='328912' date='Aug 11 2009, 15:26 ']Need help identifying what I beleive is a North Carolina fire station. I am not from the area so anybody that can help it would be apprecaited.
While driving to Myrtle Beach from Pennsylvania in early 1980's, I stopped and shot a station's apparatus out in the middle of the forest, possibly along Route 17 or 13. I later remember at the end of the trip stopping at Holly Ridge, NC so it was North of there.
They had a red 1976'ish International Cargostar chassis with an unknown brand rear mount aerial device on it. They also had some old military style chassis tankers parked outside during the day. This would have been around 1980 ish.
I cant make out the name of the department on the aerial, but the red tractor trailer tanker next to it has the partial name "___DEN Fire on it (like ODEN or something?)
If anyone knows of this company's actual name or has any photos from them please contact me asap. I have been trying to id this old photo for 30 years!!!

Eric-
That is indeed Ogden, NC, which is in northeastern New Hanover County (north of Wilmington). The truck in question is an International/Bruco with a Memco aerial (I think). Ogden later took off the aerial and turned it into a tanker. GA Dave can probably tell you where it was originally from.
