Brush 2071 is this uglier-than-sin 2008 Chevrolet 3500/Local 250/300 unit.  The dirt and the setting sun didn't help the picture any.

The next, and final day of our fling, was to Bradley County and Cleveland, TN.  We had huge success here, just not enough time as Dave Organ had to cart Jim Kus back to the Atlanta Airport for his flight home.  We had one guy that escorted us to several stations and assured that all of the pieces we wanted were posed just right - don't mind that chunk of brick now missing from the column on the front of one of the stations.  DOH!  

 

Anyway, first up is Ladder 9 at the former Charleston, TN VFD.  It's a 1988 Pierce Arrow 1000/500/100F/50' TeleSqurt bearing job #E4283.  It previously served the Tennessee Valley Authority Fire Dept.
