As I stated I was lost when I came across Whitesville Fd near Moncks Corner. This truck is one of the more unique ones I came across.

Whitesville Ladder 6. 1999 Hammer with a Spartan Chassis. According to the Lt on duty, it was the only truck Hammer made. After they made this truck, the company went bankrupt.

Parked behind Whitesville station was this 1985 Duplex. Fmr Airforce rig. it is being replaced. Had I waited until Monday I could have shot the Ferarra Engine that was replacing it. It was up the coast at the fire convention in Myrtle Beach.

first is Moncks Corner Ladder 7. 1973 Mack Baker scope.
