This & That from Here & There

[GA_Dave]

On the same day that I shot the Cobb County rigs, I also shot a few Cherokee County rigs, but waited to post them until I was able to get some information on two of them.  Twenty five years ago, Cherokee County was protected by about 15 separate fire departments, mostly volunteer.  Today, Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services is a mostly career department operating from 22 stations.  The Cities of Canton and Woodstock still maintain their separate identities, with two stations each, but fall into the County's numbering and dispatch systems.  I have photographed many apparatus in Cherokee County in the past, but needed to update a few newer rigs.  The delay in posting was caused by the two rigs built by Southern Fire (Jasper, GA) which had no identification on them whatsoever.  It took this long to get the information, since they were purchased by the former "Circle Five VFD", not the County.
