Philadelphia, PA

[Guest]

Not too many big aprons in Philly, but if you want to shoot one of the newest rigs, I would suggest Pipeline 50 (2009 KME, pictured), on Glenwood Ave. near Broad St. Other stations with larger aprons and interesting rigs include:



Foam 18 at Roosevelt Blvd. and Holme Ave. has a foam pumper and tender, but they will probably be at the muster.

Engine 16 at Belmont Ave. and Viola St. has a Freightliner/E-One rescue pumper, the only one in the city.

Engine 47 at 31st and Grays Ferry Ave. is a two-piece squad company.

Quint 69 at Bartram Ave. near Island Ave. (close to the airport) has the only quint in town, but it is frequently out of service.

Tower Ladder 22 at Front and Luzerne Sts. has a newer rig, and you might be able to shoot there in the morning, but that's a pretty busy intersection.



Good luck.
