The Quantum replaced this older HAZMAT unit, a 1988 Chevrolet. It was sitting to the rear of the station outside.

Chesapeake's Engine 7 crew is working on rehabing an old 1965 Mack C. The Mack C cab is really looking nice and the body is outside awaiting work. Should be a beautiful piece when completed.



Also sitting out back of Station 7 is this piece - anyone have information on this truck?



Thanks,

The engine sitting out back of Station 7 is a old Peter Pirsch the served in Norfolk county prior to the county being annex by Chesapeake in 1963. It's last assignment that I'm aware of was at sta. 10 as a second run engine in the early 70's

Now Jerry you know that I have already photographed their brush truck when it went into service some time ago. But just for the record, it was not at the station when I was there.



I will get a note from the Middleburg FD if you need one <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
