About 2 weeks ago, Hooked up with Andrew (Wnc fire pics)> we hit a couple of Asheville, Nc trucks. Their new Haz-Mat 2, and Eng 2, they have been posted before. I accidentially hit delete on my new camera, so I dont have the better shots. Ugh! Anyhow Went back to get this interestng piece. Their Command post a converted bus.

[Guest]

On my own I got E7 Pierce . Right before they tore out of the station on a call.

[Guest]

Then it was off to Johnathan Creek FD in Haywood County. Once again, Thanks to Andrew for pulling ALL the trucks out of the station. I shot the whole fleet. However, I know all of them have been posted by him before, but here are a couple of fave's.



Engine 23-2

[Guest]

Tanker 23. Bet you never have seen "Bone Head" emblazened on the side of a fire truck before.





Me neither

Here's a couple from recent days. This on is from Duncan Chapel in Greenvuille, SC their new ladder 1. All I know that it is a Pierce Contender 100 ft mid mount stick. I think it is used, but the dealer and where she came from I dont know. No one was around to ask when I jumped out of the truck to shoot.

I konw a dept by me has one similiar and it was once a demo unit, maybe the same situation here.

[Guest]

Finally the weather has loosened its grip on the South today. Had to go to Coulumbia and back this am. On the way back You have to take a detour because the brain trust that is the SCDOT shut down the Interstate for 8 months to pave it. So I found these gems on my detour. First is from Laurens County Station 21. Eng. 2105

[Guest]

laurens County Engine 2103. I'm betting that this Pierce wasnt original to the area. Due to the fact that it has a "Vigilant Engine 2 emblem on the side and it is Eng 3.

[Guest]

Laurens County Engine 2104. FMC Tanker. This one is a Former Roebuck, SC Truck.

[Guest]

The next few are frrom Laurens City FD. I knew they have moved out of their old downtown station, but had been unable to locate the new one. I was Sitting at a stop light looked down the street and found it. They were haveing a class, so I didnt disturb themfor information on the trucks. First is this Sutphen Quint. I did think the front of the cab is a bit different than most Sutphens.

[Guest]

Next is Laurens Eng. 2 International

[Guest]

Laurens city Service unit. I believe it has seen it better days.

First of all, nice shot. Nice Sutphen.

I did not know untill lately but Sutphen uses other chassis (other than Cincinatti cabs)

Pem Fab chassis are used sometimes.

I seen this style grill recently and I was also suprised.

[GA_Dave]

Sutphen used this style grille on their custom tilt-cab apparatus in the early-mid 1990's. The cab on this one is not a TCM cab, it was built by Sutphen.

Cool. I did not know they did that. Sutphens are one of my Favorites.

Are they building aluminum cabs?

[Guest]

Wade Hampton FD in Greenville County Just recieved this 2010 Pierce Arrow XT. Suprised that it is not a Sutphen. Their whole fleet is Sutphen. Plus the only dept I know of in the Upstate of SC that has Roto-Rays on their trucks.

[Guest]

Hate to see this one go, Up for sale inquire at the station Im told. Fmr Eng 6 1986 Mack/Sutphen.
