Another not-so-great shot is this shot at a Blue Ridge, GA used car lot. It's a former Niagara Falls, NY 1972 Ward LaFrance 1000 gpm pumper. Don't know anything else about it.

Good eye! I noticed it too. Hey Scoob, is it Habersham that you work for over there?

Of course, as I was running the pump, I had to have something else to do! Got a few, none of them much special. They didn't even supply us with chicken dinners!

The highlight of my day was the sound of sirens approaching as I sat in a parkinglot waiting on my wife who was in a conference. I followed an engine to a long chicken house that was well involved in fire. I walked up and the driver of a Habersham County engine was packing out to fight the fire. I asked him if he was alone and he assured me he was. Since he'd pulled lines, I asked him if he'd like me to pump his truck for him. He said sure! So, there I stayed for the next 2-1/2 hours. Someone brought me a portable radio so I could coordinate with the others and I had a grand old time. Engine 16 is what I pumped but I couldn't get a good shot of it at the fire. Turns out, it's the only rig from Habersham County that I already had a photo of.



Engine 16 is this 2003 E\-One Typhoon Tradition 1250/1000 pumper, SO#26336.

Nah, volunteer with White (very little) and career in Gwinnett.

While in the Clarksville, GA area the other day, I found the Lee Arrendale State Prison Fire Dept. It's a ladies prison so the fire dept. is staffed by women. They run two rigs and have an additional old Ford pumper that I wasn't able to photograph. First up is a 1970 Ford L700/GA Forestry 18/750 as Tanker 1.

The second in-service piece at the prison is a 1985 GMC Top Kick/Grumman FireCat 750/1000 Pumper as Pumper 1, that formerly served in Butts County, GA.

Yesterday, GA Dave and I ventured in to the private community fire department called Big Canoe Property Owners Assn. It had been a few years since I'd been there and they had a few rigs I hadn't shot yet. First up is this 1974 Chevrolet C60/Reading as Service Truck 3 #13831.
