My tribute to Pinkjay.
Pinkjay's stream was abundant with inspiration, she takes some awesome flower macros and I really liked her recent B&W street photography. But I instantly knew what I had to tribute as it is pretty much guaranteed that there will be some kind of fireman activity going on in our house at any moment in time.
Today Joseph turned the kitchen table into his fire engine, with Pippa's booster seat the cabin where he (Fireman Fred-Joseph) sat with Fireman Bunny and the rest of the crew in the chairs behind him. He's currently more into Trumpton than Fireman Sam though.
Unfortunately Sam doesn't make a great model. Once I'd finally got him to perch in the engine, he refused point blank to sit straight.

2010-06 Stockton Fire Engine Rally (relocated from Preston Park) - Google this one for info, its interesting, specially designed for narrow highland roads!
We recently had a memorial service for my dad who passed away in December. One of his favorite things was this antique fire engine that he bought many years ago. I got this image of him taking my husband and granddaughter for a ride. Added lyrics from a song by The Thirteenth Floor Elevators.
Brunswick County - Head-on MVC, Dry Bread Road, Ebony, VA. Ebony VFD, Brunswick Volunteer Rescue Squad, Central Volunteer Rescue Squad, and the Virginia State Police responded.
Has anyone got even the faintest idea of what real vehicle this cheapo diecast truck is based on? Made by Little Ant it has very plain styling making it hard to identify though does have a printed on grille. Quality is obviously a low priority at this price point though the ladder does actually extend and swivel! Part of a seven vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
I can't think of a better caption that the opening line of the chorus from the Move's 1968 hit Fire Brigade for this fire engine. It's a 1955 Dennis F12 Pump Escape and was new to Cheshire County Fire Brigade, which became part of Cheshire Fire Brigade in 1974 and would have been based at Audlem. I don't know this vehicle's service history, but I'm assuming it would have been relegated to the training school in the 1960s. I had to wait ages to take this shot because of all the people milling around it. When you want to take a good clear shot of something, no one seems to give a toss!
You're probably wondering what the searchlight above the left hand side headlight is for. Well, that was so that the Fire Officer could see the houses at night when responding to a call. I reckon that, like all emergency services, a fireman had to detach himself from the job otherwise he'd go loopy. I think it was a case of forget about it first and have a good cry later...especially if it involved children. These days, if they were called out to a fire which involved a child who'd been left home alone (like what happened in the first episode of London's Burning) the crew of a fire engine would go absolutely fucking mental if the parents arrived back.
"Where the fuck have you been?" might be the first question.
This old fire engine sits outside Slagle's Fire Equipment and Supply Company, near Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina.
