Vashti Fire-Rescue Inc.

Morning truck talk. More Hahn. We've had a number of them around North Carolina, at departments both big and small. Here's an unusual one that Micah Bodford photographed in 2024 at Vashti Fire-Rescue Inc. in Alexander County.

This "wet rescue" is a 1984 Hahn/1992 Saulsbury, 450/500/40', serial . Its history:

Swedsburg, PA, then
Montgomery County Haz-mat, PA, then
Sawmills, NC, then
Ronda Community, NC, and finally
Vashti, NC
