I read recently on Facebook that Lisbon Volunteer Fire Department in Woodbine, Maryland was donating Engine Tanker 44 to Hindman Volunteer Fire Department in Hindman, Kentucky. I knew that I needed to get to the station to snap some photographs before she was gone.
If you follow the news, you know that Kentucky has been especially hard-hit with flooding this summer. Hindman VFD lost all of their equipment due to the flooding. Lisbon VFD, on the other hand, was planning to to acquire a new engine tanker. With Howard County having a reserve tanker, Lisbon made the thoughtful decision to donate the old tanker to those in need. The new tanker is on order and the mismatched red tanker will fill-in until it arrives.
Engine Tanker 44 is a 1992 Pierce Lance.
Fortunately (tongue-in-cheek), Blogspotter doesn't allow you to upload multiple photos at the same time and for each photo it defaults back to the main directory so that you have to navigate to the root directory for the photo multiple times. Idiot.
