Nice Pictures! By any chance, do you know if Gatlinburg still has their Ward La France Engine?

[/quote]

oh yes most definately they do. At the main station it sits rotting away. The officer was not as obliging to pull out apparatus at the main station so i could not shoot it

Interesting, not many of the WLF's still around.... Thanks for the information!

I had the same problem when I was there on vacation. I mean, I'm fine with them not wanting to pull them out, it's not a big deal, but the Ward was outside so I won in the end anyhow! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I do believe though, that is now has a hosebed cover with Chevrons on it, as that's what they were doing with it outside when we were there, and like your photo, the tower was there too; by the way, did they tell you how they got that tower?



Did you get a chance to go to station 3 on the mountain? They have an awesome 2 door Freightliner/Ferrara rearmount engine, however they were at station 1 all day, so by the time we got there to take photos I had to take them inside because it was too dark!
