Quote:What happened to the Seagrave Tiller that was T601?It was renumbered as Truck 620 since it runs from Leesburg Station 20 to allow for the Reserve to be 601.

Quote:A couple more to round out this series of updates. Now, it just needs some hub caps and lug covers on the wheels! Crazy how a new paint job and removing those awful simulators improves the truck 100%! Trav!

Quote:...mainly the wheel covers removed and a Roto-Ray warning light added. In my opinion, this one looks sharp!...
A large part of my collection was purchased from a GOOD man, John Floyd. I give him FULL credit on his work, although I may miss something. Thanks John. Also Scott Mattson, Warren Jenkins, Michael Schwartzberg, and Mike Sanders. Thanks Guys.
I noticed on the FESCO website that Loudoun County has a new ambulance 617-3...What happened to Hamilton's green and white unit?

I guess this is whee I should have made my debut as a BC.
thanks for the update Brett.
The Middleburg VFC has a few Volunteers. Yes there is a brand new County owned Station, but being a combination system there was both volunteer and career people running there. The Station went 24's (Engine/Tanker/ Medic) back in 2010, and there were only a few volunteers around then.

I spent too much time trying to get a shot of this midmount thanks to Loudoun's no-photography allowed policy for me to not share it. I drove by on a Sunday and found several pieces of apparatus sitting outside doing some training, and waited for this guy to back it in. Oldie but a goodie.
2007 Pierce Dash midmount 95' for South Riding aka Dulles South. Quote:Care to share information about this policy? I can only speak to what I've been told at Dulles South, but I stopped by there twice last year to see if they would pull out the midmount and both cases was referred to ranking officers who said Loudoun County has a no-photography allowed policy for their apparatus. Of course, I've also been to Leesburg station 1 and 20 and was able to get shots of all their apparatus with no issues. So idk, but it seems legit if two different people say that's the case. The regular rank-and-file didn't seem to have a problem with it, but the ranking officers did.
I find this hard to believe. If you private message me we will take care of this for you. At 19 the Captain is Sam Meyers on "A" Shift and at least 3 of the Battalion Chiefs are really good guys. the fourth one was also a good guy, but he recently retired.
Naturally when you go to the stations be polite and act like you have seen a fire truck before. You may want to offer some of your shots to the crew. Get an e-mail and be sure you follow through.
I actually sent a message to the Department through their website, try to go through official channels and such instead of just showing up. Didn't get a response. I'll try them later on my next trip back to VA.
