Hey Guys and Gals,

The exhibit and classroom portion of the conference started today. I spent part of the day in my SPAAMFA group's booth, and the rest of the time taking photos. I renewed many friendships from around the San Diego County area so I can photograph their departments. Here's a sampling of Day 1....

1) New California OES Type 3 from Rosenbauer

2) New Los Angeles FD Medic Rig

3) Sacramento Metro FD Type 3 Brush Rig

4) Ventura County FD ALF Engine 57

more to follow....

Here's some more photos. I did not get every rig today, there will be more tomorrow and Thursday....

1) Federal Fire Department San Diego Truck 1 outside the Convention Center

2) Marin County FD Type 3 Brush 1564

3) Poway FD GMC Medic Ambulance

4) San Diego FD KME Engine 18

Day 2-more photos and more local rigs outside of the convention center. No other LAFD rigs. Unfortunately, because of the way the dealers/manufacturers position tillers, it is almost impossible at a conference like this to take photos while they are being demo'ed. AS rigs are being taken out tomorrow, I will try to get photos of the aerials. So for now, here's a few from today...

Local rigs at the convention center today..

1) Federal Fire Department San Diego Truck 7

2) Federal Fire Department San Diego Engine 6

3) National City Fire Department Engine 34

4) MCAS Miramar Fire Department Engine 61

From the floor, more photos....

1) The rear of the Ca OES Rig from Rosenbauer. Guess LAFD and LACoFD aren't the only ones going to chevrons....

2) Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department Brush 177

3) Viejas Fire Department Brush 25

4) Ca OES Swift Water Rescue Staffed by the Stockton Fire Department

5) Front of the new E-one model, The Quest. Butt ugly if you ask me...
