Fire Trucks!

Gauge and De Soto! Squad 51 was a pretty cool TV show!

And that Police Car link is a great thread, and has quite a collection of law enforcement vehicles...it's a good one to keep going!

I never missed "Emergency" when I was a kid.
When I first moved out here I wanted to find that Fire station.
Just like I wanted to see the "Chip's" police station.

I got to do the Squad 51 thing at Universal Studios when I was a kid. I liked Adam-12 better. The head nurse at Rampart hospital was pretty hot looking though!

Here's some of the last of the firetrucks in my collection:

IMG 1: Shingletown Volunteer Fire Department, Engine 63 (Vintage equipment still in service!)
IMG 2: Soldier Mountain Fire Department, Engine 513
IMG 3: Weed Fire Department, Engine 1212
IMG 4: Loveland Rural Fire Protection District - visiting from Colorado (2008 - norcal fires)
IMG 5: Northwest Fire Protection Services - visiting from Montana (2008 - norcal fires)
IMG 6: Rocky Mountain Fire, Engine 2434 - visiting from Colorado (2008 - norcal fires)

Great stuff Dave!! I like the old International Loadstar 1700 the best though.

Yes she was and she was in her 50's at the time.
I believe Julie London was married to Bobby Troup (Dr. Joe Early) at the time.

Of all the police shows I liked Policewoman the best.

Still waiting for the folks overseas to post some fire engines from where they live!

I have so many photos because I work on them, but everyone has a fire station in thier neighborhood, get out those cameras and get busy!

Yes she was and she was in her 50's at the time.

She was beautiful then. I just looked at her pics when she was younger and WOW!

I also used to watch a show called Code-R. Man this brings back memories.

Remembered I had this 1938 Ford in my stash.

Beauty!

 

[GrauGeist]

Great looking machine!

I love to see the vintage trucks being taken care of like that!

 

[BikerBabe]

ABW, thanks for sharing the pic of that 1938 fire engine, that's a true stunner.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you ladies and gents. I had posted it in my photo thread quite a while ago and thought it would go nicely here.

 

[Wayne Little]

That's a nice one Aaron!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Wayne.

Found this one sitting in a mall parking lot today at lunch so I took a few shots. The sun made it difficult to get the shots to look half way decent though.

 

[GrauGeist]

The shots came out well enough, Aaron!

You don't see many of those LaFrance trucks around these days.

Matter of fact, that engine looks like it's being taken out of service. Notice that the covers and diverters on the plumbing have been removed, as well as the gear in the compartments.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Yeah, to be honest I believe someone is actually driving it back and forth to work. (Imagine that)

 

[vikingBerserker]

Stink on gas, but that actually would be fun!
