Dave,

 

Do you know if Freedom Fire is still in business?  I haven't see anything new from them in Kentucky for a few years now.

I'm not positive, the newest deliveries I have seen from them were back in 2013.  Their website doesn't indicate that they closed down.

One of our targets on this trip was the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg, TN.  Based on weather forecasts, we picked Tuesday as our best chance for sunshine.  We would hit seven departments that day.

 

Upon entering the City of Tullahoma, we spotted this rig sitting in a parking lot, used as advertising by the local State Farm Insurance agent.  We were unable to determine any history.

The weather was still not the best, but it wasn't raining, so we pressed on.  Next was Shelbyville.  We stopped at Station 1 where we met the Assistant Chief.  He told us that the engine was at lunch, but found us someone to pull the ladder and reserve engine out for us.  He also provided a phone number for the Chief at Jack Daniels.  Contact was made, but we would not be able to photograph his rigs that day due to a public relations event.  I have saved his contact info for a future trip.

We had been given the location where the engine was eating lunch.  When we arrived, we found that they had been joined there by rigs from the other two stations and a nearby Bedford County station.
