Cool, an Amthor mini-pumper!! Never seen one of those before.

A few years back, the chief at Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue's Airport Station purchased a rig that he "got a real bargain on". As it turned out, it was a joke, a piece of junk from the day we got it. I think they paid about $2000 for it. I knew it came from out west somewhere but wasn't sure where until last night. I obtained 7 cd's of photos from Pre-Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue days and found that this baby came from Clark County, NV. I don't know who took the picture of it lettered for Clark County but it was done at the Palm Beach Int'l Airport. I took the re-lettered picture a while later. Anyway, if anyone wants to see any of the other older pre-PBCFR shots, I can post them on a seperate heading. They aren't good photos but they are interesting old beasts.

On my last trip from GA to FL, I detoured to shoot this whirlybird. It's from Orlando Regional Medical Center and is based at a hospital in Clermont, FL. It's a 1989 Messersmitt BK-117.

Today I did a swap with some junior captain. Since I assumed his position, I got sent out to some station I'd never worked at before, Palm Beach County Station 44 in Boynton Beach. What a culture shock! Heck, we ran 3 ALS calls, a fire alarm and moved some old guy from the toilet to the wheelchair already and it's only 2:00! I'm not used to this. But, I digress. I took advantage of my locale to shoot their engine, rescue and station. Here they are. First up is Engine 44, a 2005 Freightliner M2/Ferarra 1250/750/15F pumper, #H5020.

While at HQ today for a class, I took the opportunity to pose and shoot these rigs. I needed to update the apparatus portion of the department's website - www.pbcfr.org as I hadn't done these rigs in their current assignments. First up is Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue's Engine 30, a 2000 Freightliner FL80/Ferrara 1250/750/15F Pumper.

Mark great photos. Looks like the marking and strips keeps changing with each purchase.



Nice rigs!

[Mark V. Carr]

No, John, not so much changing. The County stuff has changed very little over the years. It's the City of West Palm Beach that has changed theirs over the years. When I was there in the early 80's, they were all red. Then they went to red/white. Then came white with red stipes, and now they've moved to red with gold stripes.

Yesterday, I wandered south to Broward County, FL with Alex (Firepix21) for a day of shooting in the sun. On the way, I shot a couple of other things. For your viewing pleasure, here is what we accomplished.



First up, Greenacres Public Safety in Palm Beach County just got two new Freightliner M2/Wheeled Coach rigs. Here is Rescue 94 (10).
