Closer to home, there's a Tiller Quint in Rockland-Empire H&L. http://web.me.com/resq4spidey/iWeb/Joe%27s%20Little%20Hole%20in%20the%20Web!/Rockland%20County%20Parade,%209-8-07_files/DSCN5519.jpg Not too special (250/200 if I remember my specs), but, still a Tiller Quint. Beautiful rig. -Joe DA BUFF

Congratulations to the New Haven 20! Take Care and Be Safe in your newly promoted roles! -Joe DA BUFF

Great photos all around! Nice to see the BPD Harbormaster Boat! Always nice to see the historic Boylston Street Firehouse! Next time you're in Boston, drop by the historic Winthrop Street Firehouse in Charlestown! Great spot to visit and just as historic. Take Care and Be Safe. -Joe DA BUFF

Great photos all around! Interesting to see the Florida State Law Enforcement Officers! -Joe DA BUFF

Great photos all around! You shot the moon, and then some! You got a great variety of LA County photos! THe Tiller Quints are impressive, at least, to me. I didn't realize Compton still had their own Fire Department. Congrats on such a great trip! The burgundy San Francisco rig was particularly awesome! The color is so striking. One question: Are the USAR and HazMat Squads in LA County like FDNY's Rescues or is the analogy not applicable? Thanks for sharing! GREAT PHOTOS! -Joe DA BUFF

I concur fully! Looks like you had a turnout from not only Columbia County, but Massachusetts and Vermont (Castleton?) The hand pumpers have a LOT of character. Question: Does Chatham no longer have the Maxim or was she just not marching? Thanks. -Joe DA BUFF

Great photos of "twins"! -Joe DA BUFF

My friend did the publicity for them, so, here's the info! http://writerjax.blog-city.com/press_relea...ed_no_water.htm Dance open to the Public on Saturday 9/12, 9PM-1AM Parade on Sunday 9/27 at 1PM. Lenox isn't very far from the Taconics. My friend specifically asked me to spread word to all my Firematic Friends. Attend if you can/are interested! -Joe DA BUFF

More awesome pictures! Thanks for posting. Great to see Banksville's old Patrol and Holla Hose's Maxim, among others. -Joe DA BUFF

Ordinarily, I would not even think of posting this. I am also very keenly aware that the Broadcast Media may not be telling the whole story. But, the allegations seem severe and disturbing, and I wanted to bring it to your attention and hear your thoughts. http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/local/0518...tion_rescue_911 http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/news/investigat..._caught_on_tape Thank you kindly. -Joe DA BUFF

More great photos all around! Thanks for sharing. Nice to see the Dodge St. Regis Chief's Car. -Joe DA BUFF

Interesting package. I wonder what will happen with the Crown Vic....Hopefully they'll drop the Mustang's V8 into the Taurus and make that a Police Package. We'll see. -Joe DA BUFF

All of them look great! Engine 139 looks like it will be a tremendous boon to GBFD and more capable for their purposes, especially covering 684 (I remember seeing the old Engine 139 and Rescue 24 on an MVA there). Is M/A 14 going to double as a Brush Truck? Ladder 32 looks especially sharp. Best of luck to all Departments with them! -Joe DA BUFF

Congratulations on both counts! Keep getting educated, Firematically, Scholarly, and Otherwise! Best of luck! -Joe DA BUFF
