Time to put a little life back into the OBX thread.
I recently returned from a week's vacation in Duck and had the opportunity to visit a variety of the OBX fire stations. Weather all week was really good, with one day of clouds and rain - fortunately, that was the day we were leaving. Yet again, the friendliness and cooperation from the folks at the stations was outstanding.
I have a variety of updates from both Currituck and Dare County stations as well as a variety of photographs to post.
I will start with our trip down to OBX through the Tidewater Virginia area and entering North Carolina from Chesapeake, Virginia. Just after crossing the VA/NC border, you enter Currituck County and the first station is Moyock.
Original photos from Moyock are on page 1 of this thread.
New to Moyock is their Truck 3, a 1998 Sutphen 75' 1750/500 with Sutphen s/n HS-3311. It was purchased from Rostraver Central, PA where it was painted black over red. Moyock received the Sutphen last year and had it repainted.
Would anyone have a photo of the Sutphen while in service in PA?

Mike,
Just returned today from Corolla and WISH I had researched it before I left. I had a bit of time to take a few pictures; nothing compared to what you have. I saw Moyock is where old Ladder 105 from Rostraver Central went. Here it is at Rostraver:
