That's all I've got. I was hoping to get photos of the State Police Bearcat, but it wasn't there, at least while I was there. I didn't see the N. Reading or Middleton brush trucks, but I'm guessing those were deep in the woods.

Ladder 1 in Orleans operated this classic 1974 Maxim S. It had a 1000 gpm-pump, no tank, and a 85' ladder.

Ladder 2 in Provincetown operated a very unique piece (OK, P-Town is a unique place, also). It is a 1995 Ford Cargo CF 8000 with bodywork from Middleboro Fire Apparatus, 1000 gpm-pump, 300 gallon-tank, and a 1961 Maxim 65' ladder, that formerly was in service in Central Falls/RI.

And here is a rear photo of Provincetown Ladder 2



Unfortunately I was not able to photograph their Young Bison engine.

Here's a photo to get us started. I wouldn't normally post such a poor shot, but it is called "Firepics", so we have to have a visual. If anyone has a better one, please add it.

What time were you there? It was a very LONG and drawn out event. I know I looked at the clock at my house when the Reading engine went for coverage around 9am or so. I dont know if North Readings duece was there, but the Middleton duece was (it blew 2 tires while in the woods). They even had a duece from Devens.



As for the State Police half trac, it was there for most of the day. Probably didnt arrive until 10 or 11, but was still there lateer in the day. I didnt see it, or anything else for that matter as I had a lot of outside work to get cought up on, but I listened to a good deal of it when I could.

I was there a little before noon I think. The State Police Bearcat was sitting at the Danvers barracks when I passed on my way to N. Reading. After a couple of stops on the way back, I noticed it was gone. Reading Engine 3 left just after I took that photo, or perhaps relocating, I'm not sure.



I know the previous day there was quite a bit of apparatus and manpower out there. I know Wakefield, Boxford and Andover were all working, as well as all of the usuals.
