In August of 2016 the Georgetown Historical Society hosted an antique fire apparatus show on the grounds of the Marvel Carriage Museum. Located just outside Georgetown in southern Delaware, this museum represents a lifetime of collecting by a single man, Nutter D. Marvel. Many of the buildings, carriages and items on display came from various locations throughout Sussex County, Delaware and following his passing the facility became home to the Georgetown Historical Society. In addition to being a fascinating visit and place for tours, the grounds offer wonderful opportunites for activities such as the fire truck show.</span></span></b><br>

I wasn't sure what to expect, how interactive the alpacas might be (or might not be?), and I didn't know how the entire concept of raising animals would seem to me. Did the owners care about them, where did concern for the well-being and happiness of these creatures rank and would I feel comfortable seeing how they lived and existed? After all, while we can and do label many things in life as "it's a business", what did that really translate into for the alpacas themselves? I headed north-west from Fenwick Island, up through Delaware via Route 404 and crossed into Maryland. The drive is a peaceful one, winding through farms and open country fields, and once I left 404 it was another five miles down a quiet two-lane road. I pulled up at the foot of the driveway and paused to take a few pictures of the scenic autumn landscape.</span></span></b><br>

In 1929 the group officially chartered with Mr. Fuller elected as the Chief and President."

I love fire trucks and emergency vehicles for their colors, details, lettering and unique logos, but the story behind the building and vehicles is what I dig down for. And I wasn't disappointed this time, as mentioned on their website this particular department still has three of the original charter members.</span></span></b><br>

I spotted this truck resting quietly in a corner of the Ocean City convention center during the annual Maryland Firefighters Convention. It wasn't front and center as were the new pieces of gleaming apparatus and the freshly detailed latest rescue rigs, but I'd sure love to know it's story. "1966 C-95 Mack, owned by Sean Space of Baltimore, Maryland" read the plaque fixed on the side just above an antique ax. "Zelienople 3 Fire Department" was painted on the doors in gold, and across the front of the engine as well.</span></span></b><br>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This truck rolled off an assembly line somewhere several years before I was born and I can't begin to image the places it's been and the lives it has saved. I can't help but wonder who the owner is; someone connected to that fire department perhaps; maybe the son of a member from years ago; or could it be just a collector who fell under the spell of this vintage time capsule on wheels?</span></span></b><br>

I'd heard about this - matter of fact we'd sponsored one of the flags here - but actually seeing it in person just took my breath away. The "Field of Honor" was truly impressive and breath-taking; I pulled over and spent the next half hour just walking and looking and in a silent way, remembering those lost in the name of freedom. To walk from one end of the area to the other didn't appear far, but once you were there, moving amidst a sea of red, white and blue, the reason for these banners and the lives they represented began to sink in.</span></span></b><br />

Located in Wicomico County on Maryland's eastern shore, Station 6 sits directly on Old Ocean City Road, just a mile or two south of the original fire house. There is something quietly mournful about a flag at half-mast and so I took a photo of this first. The lowered flags marked the sad occasion of two lives lost just days before, as two Harford County Sheriff's Deputies died in the line of duty.</span></span></b><br>

I'd been looking forward to enjoying the the buildings which were open for the Georgetown "Stamp Tour" when my plans derailed (see the post here). Later that day I was standing in the Circle photographing the regal Courthouse building when I happened to glance down one of the side streets - and there it was - a gem of a fire engine, sitting all alone in front of the station, obviously just waiting for me to come over and visit. I scurried over and was please to note that the front doors of the station were closed and that no one else was busy checking out this vintage vehicle. For me, that's a good thing since I hate to take pictures with others around. Not always possible of course, but if there's a chance to take the kind of views I prefer, then being alone is a bonus. Here are a few views of the exterior of the building.</span></span></b><br>

Since I had taken more than 400 pictures of the station and vehicles it seemed logical to divide them up - here's the breakdown to how they are arranged. I don't do things halfway so being able to include all the apparatus, photographs of the previous buildings up through the present, and a number of other details was important to me. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To me, e</span>very place, building and location that I chronicle through images has a story, and in a way I hope to be able to paint a visual portrait of the history and people behind the pictures.</span></span></b><br>

The photos needed to be included and when I had to go back to the station for a second time to finish a few shots I wasn't able to get on the first trip, then I decided running over into six separate collections for their pictures wasn't that big a deal. After all, the album I struggled with was an important one and so the story of this department wound up needing an additional section.</span></span></b><br>

What was advertised on the flyer were steam engines, tractors and farm equipment of all kinds, but that certainly did not prepare us for the size and scale of this event. Hundreds of pieces of history, farming generations, vintage machinery, vehicles and displays stretched out in front of us for what seemed to be miles.</span></span></b><br>

On Friday and Saturday night they host live entertainment along with church services on Sunday morning and this would be a wonderful activity for the entire family to enjoy. Here are a few examples of what you may see while at the event....</span></span></b><br>

These are some photos I took of the Shopper Chopper Giant Shopping Cart during it's visit to Ocean City, Maryland in 2015. Since I'm at sort of a loss to describe it I stole their FAQ from the website: "The Shopper Chopper is a nine-foot-tall small-block-Chevy-powered, STREET-LEGAL attention-grabbing giant shopping cart. From the rumble of the 350 cubic-inch engine to the 600+ LED lights, the Shopper Chopper attracts a crowd wherever it goes.

As is common with most fire departments I'd image, the level at which these vehicles are maintained seems to lead to them rarely showing their age. Thus I proceeded to take far more photos of the older one, which some folks may consider pretty low-level on the scale of importance. Sometimes certain pieces seem to just have more character and perhaps they just like having their picture taken once again.

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first one is this 1991 Chevrolet Brush Truck, used for covering all types of terrain. Seeing as how we have plenty of that nearby, I'm sure this vehicle makes it out on plenty of calls. As noted above, it's pretty good-looking for it's age.</span></span></b><br>

Station 73 is beautifully new and modern and spacious, but part of me wanted to know where it all started. This blog post is an introduction to the fire company and the first few photos I took showing their history.</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b>
<u><i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From their <a href="http://www.dagsborovfd.com/page/history">website</a> here is some background:</span></span></b></i></u><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"The Dagsboro Volunteer Fire Company was established in 1943, operating 2 engine companies out of a two bay/two story brick fire house located on Clayton Avenue, just west of Main Street. Prior to this, emergencies in the area were handled by the Frankford or Millsboro Vol. Fire Companies. The original fire house still stands but has been renovated for use by the Bethel United Methodist Church. A new station was built in 1963 on Waples Street as the calls for emergency services grew. We are still in that building and have grown to include the vehicles seen on our apparatus page. Our membership has also grown to include an Auxiliary side and EMS members and employees."</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Note: in 2013 the new building was completed, following a four year planning process. It's breath-taking and I'm pretty sure I mentioned "Taj Mahal" several times while getting the tour. What I really loved about this visit was that both previous locations were close by so I was able to go and take pictures of them as well.</span></span></b><br />
