West Columbia Fire Department, West Columbia Texas. A lot of unknowns with this one, saw it from the side of the road outside the WCFD station. All I can say is that it's an American LaFrance tower. 1000 century series maybe ? The other photo of this unit shows that it's a Snorkel aerial. If you look at the letters on the boom, there is evidence that at one time, this might have been an industrial apparatus.
Approaching this in the amusement park I first thought it was a toy one but soon realised it was the real deal. Designed for some of the narrow walkways.

A Cwmbran fire engine parked at Asda, doing the relief's shopping. Makes a change from their usual Lidl or Aldi venue.
Have a bonfire on one of the hottest days of the year: you're a dick and we'll call the fire brigade on you!
The idiot over the road decided to light a HUGE bonfire in his back garden at 8pm today, huge plumes of smoke, ash raining down everywhere, no sign of life when we rang the bell. The little old lady across the way insisted on ringing the fire brigade, much sirening and lighting later there are firemen spraying water all over the embarrassed fools garden.
what a dick
my bedroom is full of ash
house stinks of smoke
grrrr
When photographed the appliance was in use as an Emergency Tender in place of the Leyland Daf appliance that is usually based at the station - the station is apparently getting a new ET in August.

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.
A side view of this 1955 Dennis F12 Pump Escape, 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!
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.
