Maine Photos

[jcoppola 52]

On a recent trip to York, Maine, I got some shots of the local department and some of thier apparatus. Just thought I would share them. I took quite a few, and I even got some from the other department in town, York Fire.

Enjoy.

It really is...I think inches...they always have to spec stuff so that it just fits. I have a few other pictures on my camera that I did not upload yet showing their other engine and how tight that one is. They have a Ladder and a Peterbilt tanker in the new addition section with large clearance doors. It is a very neat firehouse, I go in there a lot.

Nice looking firehouse, kind of original. Is this a tourist area or a local residential? That truck is nice too, very clean...and spec-ing just to fit sounds like something Croton Falls had to do for years...

York Village to follow.

The Lighthouse on Cape Neddick appears on thier patch. It is the most frequently photographed lighthouse in the US. They made a float of it for parades and public relations events. The official name is Cape Neddick Light. Locals refer to it as "Nubble Light".

Just for the heck of it, here's a shot of Cape Neddick Light, they were painting it the week I was there.

I know it is not FD related, but it seems pertinent to the thread that I started...

Cape Neddick Lighthouse

Is it still functional?

I was down at the Montauk Point Lighthouse (Long Island)

a couple weeks ago.

SWEET PICS!

Looks like a perfect place to film a JAWS sequel.

SHHHH!! Hollywood will hear you and remake that movie. And screw it up big time!!

Thanks. The lighthouse is fully functional and is 100% automated. No one lives on the island since about 1980 when the Government took over the place, now the US Coast Gaurd is in charge of it. It is a 6 second 1 blink light visible for miles.

As promised, I am posting pics of York (Maine) Fire Dept.'s 1980 ALF 85' Snorkel. It is still in service, although, the day I went there to shoot it, it wouldn't start...Nothing against York Fire, it was just one of those things. Anyway, I was told that before York Fire got it, it served as Burlington, Vermont Truck 1. It is a very unique looking rig. There are apparently no plans to replace it anytime soon, although they should replace the batteries...
