From Hampton, Virginia is this unusual 1963 Seagrave Eagle 90' photographed in 1975.

Truck 22 at Hampton was this 1938 Ahrens Fox Quad. I believe that either the Hampton FD or a individual in the area owns this Ahrens Fox and it makes appearances at fire department events in the Hampton area. Photographed in 1975.

I cannot make out the body builder name on this squad truck. Hampton's Rescue 25 is a 1969 Chevrolet C40. Note the axe on the side of the rescue body. Also note the gold Mack bulldog on the front hood.

I need some help with Richmond's Tanker 24. The only information I have is a 1968 International. This photograph was taken in 1973.

I have always loved to see photographs of Richmond apparatus in front of this house. Richmond Engine 1 was photographed in May of 1973 and is a 1954 Oren. 750gpm.

Another favorite in Richmond was Truck 5, a 1969 Duplex/Oren with a 100' Grove ladder. It carried Oren serial number 2669.

Mike, I posted this ride under "International" and it was a Shop built tanker. It had a PTO pump, carried 1500 gallons of water, had a couple of Indian Tanks, several sections of 3" hard sleeve so engines could "nurse" from it. Also the booster line on top.



The ride you posted as Foam 8 begin its life in 1966 as Wagon 13. Later it found it way to station 21 as a foam unit and then over to the 8's.

Moving to Henrico County, Virginia - just outside of Richmond.



Engine 10 ran this nice 1969 Duplex/Oren 1500/500.

Truck 1 in Henrico County ran this 1964 International/Oren/Grove 100'.





Mike Sanders

I am not sure if this is the same truck in the previous post or not. The previous red and white International/Oren/Grove was photographed in 1978.



This photograph was taken in 1986, and shows a new Henrico color and rehab by Pierce in 1978. I believe this was sold to South Boston, Virginia.



Any of our Henrico experts know how many the county purchased of this style of ladder truck?
