About.
This site is dedicated to covering the fire apparatus of metropolitan Cincinnati and in particular, the apparatus of the many Hamilton County and Northern Kentucky suburban departments. Although I do cover the Cincinnati Fire Department with what photography I have, the real intention is to showcase the suburban departments and the diverse array of interesting (and colorful) apparatus in the area.
The CFD History web site of George Bredestege does a far superior job of covering the Cincinnati Fire Department than this site so please reference his site for more in depth information on the CFD. And also a word of thanks to George, his site has been invaluable as a reference tool, in particular the CFD apparatus information and the listing of Hamilton County fire departments.
A word on the selection of the Featured Departments, there is nothing special in the selection process, they just happen to be the 4 closest departments to where I live (KY) and work (OH). Consequently I have more photography available and can go a little more in depth on these particular departments.
Many thanks to the men and women of the fire service, and to all those who have helped by pulling out rigs and providing detailed apparatus and department information.
