Kudos Alex. You take top notch photos! I love Florida rigs, and appreciate you sharing your portion of them. Florida has some of the most unique rigs in the country, and it's always nice to see them. Thanks for sharing.

Any 1998-2000 pumper is 2000/750/60F

Alex, Jack made a comment that you're getting shots of all the stuff that we wanted to get on the Winter Thaw trip. He suggested maybe you had something to do with the weather and crashed it all for us. Hmmm, I wonder. Anyway, great photos you've posted lately. Who talked to the guys and had them all posed for you? Were these all part of the days you and Tim and Shoop were together?

Very nice rigs from florida.



Does anybody have shots of the medics that have the firefighting capabilities? I know several departments in FL have/had them, please if you have them post detail shots. I have always been interested with them.



Thanks

LOL!! Thanks Mark,



Yes for the most part Shoop and Tim did most of the talking and posing... I must say these guys are good, really good. Funny thing is before the Winter Thaw and these past few weeks with Shoop and Tim... I never cared for posed shots, I'd see a rig and shoot it. I definitely enjoy the posed shots better now lol... with all the motivation and confidence I gained these past few weeks, maybe I'll grow a set of n*** and start asking the guys to pose the rig for me.



I'd also like to take the time and thank Shoop and Tim for having me as their tour guide through out South Florida. I'd also like to thank Ray Bell (rckt29), Tom O'Connell (capttomo), Charles Brodbeck (CBrodbeck) and all the guys on the job for taking the time and posing all the rigs for us.



Thanks again guys.

And we have a few in Palm Beach County. We call them Rumpers, or Rescue-Pumpers.
