A couple of thoughts...
Mt.Weather - I have been to the facility to photograph the apparatus and will be going back in the near future. There are a variety of buildings "above ground" where a ladder truck would be a nice asset to the fleet. In addition, the ladder truck has run a variety of calls into Loudoun and Clarke Counties in Virgina. The county line just about splits the Mt. Weather area. I will try to get more information on the E\-One quint that has been replaced when I get back there.
Loudoun Rescue squad - nice photo Terry. Station 13 has always been a very difficult and challenging place to get photos. There is not much of a ramp and the driveway to the station basically wraps around the station. Catoctin Circle runs right in front of the station and is fairly busy. Not long ago, we had a rather large fire at the car wash next door to the station where we had to stretch hose through the apparatus bays of Station 13 to a hydrant. Quite a fire.
I know a variety of the folks at the station - great group, both volunteer and career. I am still wondering what exactly happened to the E\-One squad that the new Pierce replaced. I believe it was sold or being sold and I am interested to hear where it ended up. Terry, was that mentioned?
