This past Wednesday, I headed to south Georgia, in an attempt to locate and photograph an old PemFab/Grumman pumper from Hughesville, MD that was supposed to be in Nashville, GA. Unfortunately, after conversations with members of three different FD's in the area, it isn't there, nor has it ever been there. Bummer! The guy at Nashville, a City employee/FF, stated that he was "too busy" to pull their six rigs out for me to photograph. In the twenty minutes we talked, we could have done all six! They run three pumpers, including a very well-preserved Ford C/Pirsch, along with an F-550 rescue and two Knockers. Bummer again!
I next went to Ray City, about ten miles further south. They operate from two adjoining buildings, one with three rigs and a singe rig in the other. There was no one around and both buildings had "anti-buff" doors. The PD was just across the street, so I headed that way, only to spot two of their members talking in the parking lot. Minutes later, I was shooting these.
