Finishing off for now with a couple of Chancellor rigs. For those who may not be familiar with Spotsylvania, Fire & EMS protection is provided by Spotsylvania Dept of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Management along with three volunteer organizations: Spotsylvania Volunteer Rescue Squad, Spotsylvania Volunteer Fire Dept (Co's 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9), and Chancellor Volunteer Fire and Rescue (Co's 5, 6, 7, 10).
Well, Here she is. It arrived today and I am not sure of the In Service Date. Sorry for the picture, Its cold and raining off and on down here, But nevertheless, a Picture is a Picture.
Coming soon to a fire station neat INOVA Lansdowne a very neat looking Pierce for Engine 622. Maybe something like that will find its way to the Dulles South area. Good job of design JP and JC

Dave, I am going to work on your shots this weekend, Im praying for some sun. We can see the Ramp of the FD from my House and My daughter woke me up to let me know it was down there. It felt like it was zero degrees with the wind and rain.

Ok, I know it would be overkill but I would love to see a PUC with one of those hydrochem turret that Oshkosh puts on the bumper of most of their Strikers.........now that would make the Buena Vista PUC perfect in my book.
Did anyone notice the rollup doors hiding the speedlays....."Open incase of Fire"
What a touch!

Paul, the new photos look great.

Thanks John. I have a Samsung S860 8 megapixel that I bought from Circuit City for $90 awhile back, but it does nice job (limited by the user of course) <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> Maybe one day I'll have a "big boys" camera like Taylor Goodman, John Friis, and Mike Sanders!

Paul if it works and takes those great photos you take why spend an arm and a leg for another. I've been asking Mrs. Santa Clause for a Cannon D50 for Christmas for some time now, don't think it's going to happen. Even though I've been good all year, the Grandson comes ahead of me.
