Alan Like Willy said Training was a pain, Everytime they went to Ladder the cow It got scared and Moved away.... same issue as Pomfret had..... When I Got involved in My 2nd VFD (1976) we ran M/a Tanker shuttles using our 2 International R190's 750/750 front mounts from the 60's and a brand new 1974 "fancy looking" Farrar 5 man cab 1000/500/Aux. HP booster system it was so Fancy that to open up the 2 discharges on the Officers side You Had to walk around OPEN the gate and deal with the pressure loss when you got back to the panel.... part of the district became a tourist place with all sort s of crap hotels and motels over the years shopping etc etc in '83 one of the 750's was replaced by a Hahn 1250/500 in '84 the other was replaced by a single axle quint 65 ' 1500/ 300 3/4 of the district was still rural and Unhydranted using ponds streams and NO dry hydrants No Swimming pools (porta ponds, unless we were calling M/a on a 2300 g tanker 20 minutes point to point if they were running on the ramp.. this means The chief choose to reduce water capability from 2000 gallons down to 1300 arriving in a non Hydranted UN dry Hydranted area.... "NEEDING" (a Ladder truck Because Your Mom wouldnt buy you one 40 years ago is Not always justified...) The Hotel which "justified" the quint had a 5 story section, By the time it was allowed and physically erected the Yard, elevation and Vehicular Parking had changed enough times that it was useless to consider using it to the 3rd floor..... Both those cornbinders Had 3 section 35's that we could have used ...... Thinking is often an option!! lol I admit I havent been back to either village in a while But I can tell you They havent built any Hotels in those places either.... Sometimes Looks deceive you eyes...it sure Wasnt the prettiest But I can tell you the rig ran up on the Interstate, Out in the sticks we did M/A Tanker shuttles using the pair of them early on

here on this coast its not something we would even think of although it was Not strickly an attack on The Base only, It struck me as something we dont tend to consider, and since the members are named and honored, it's something I suspect HFD honors these members annually
