Hey, You are more than welcome to visit wounderful Chester PA. Makes no difference, day or night. Let me know ahead of time so a State Police escort can be scheduled! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drcruiser.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I'm very surprised by this. I found the people to be as nice as could be! They bent over backwards to help, and I never felt the least bit uncomfortable. In fact, in several of the articles I've done for Fire & EMS Virginia magazine, I've commented that the folks (and areas) in far Southwest Virginia were some of the nicest that I've ever met. Granted, they'll openly admit that they're 20 years behind the rest of the world down there, but even with the obvious lower incomes in the area, I never felt uncomfortable.

The Goshen volunteers really need a new station. I was told that a new station is in the works. Apparatus is kept in two different areas. The "in service" apparatus (Engine 31, Tanker 33, Attack 34, and a donated Chevy Suburban marked as Kerrs Creek, VA) are kept within the station.

I went down to Goshen over the past couple days. I unfortunately could not take any picture because it was dark when I traveled past, but it looked as though a new station was built on RT39 over the past year with 4 bays and a nice hall.
