I made a spur of the moment trip to Charles City County on Thursday. This is a very rural locality just east of Richmond International Airport. There are three fire stations in the county and I was fortunate to catch someone at the main building on Adkins Rd. Several of these units were lacking a builder plate, thus some missing information. Most of their apparatus is painted this dark blue color. Not sure why, but this first rig is lettered as an Engine rather than a Tanker.

it is labeled as engine 11 because it ran as first out engine from station 1 until the arrival of the sammler Inernational KME. Their "tanker" was/is a large 4000 gallon tanker with a 1000 GPM front mounted pump. it is housed at station 2
