Yesterday, I had a busy day traveling around the Seattle area. I took Alexis to her class in Northgate and went looking for fire apparatus to photograph. As I drove around the north end of Lake Washington, I stopped at Northshore Fire Station 51. Their “new” Rescue 51 was parked out front going through the daily rig checks. They actually acquired the truck in October of 2007. The Batallion Chief there gave me a quick tour of the vehicle. It was parked in the shade and made for some challenging photography. Here it is.

The other aerial I saw is Ladder 1, a 2007 Spartan/Crimson 103ft tractor drawn aerial.

In addition to the aerials, I saw Engine 5′s new 2008 E-One Quest. I will post it here shortly.
