This & That from Here & There

[GA_Dave]

I have had a request for photos from the Tri-Community Fire Department, based in Collegedale, TN. Tri-Com is a volunteer department that runs from four stations, located in Collegedale (1), Apison Pike (3), Ooltewah (4), and Standifer Gap (5). I have visited Tri-Com many times in the past 25 years, finding an interesting array of apparatus. Many were purchased second hand, while others have been bought new. Most of the used apparatus have been refurbed by the members. There are also a handful of apparatus that they have had in the past 25 years that are no longer around and I never had the opportunity to photograph them. One was a Seagrave P-cab pumper with a factory four door cab. Another was a Mack CF with a Squrt that came from Salt Lake City, UT.



Here are the rigs I did manage to shoot, in the order I shot them. Apparatus not marked "(retired)" are still in service.
