Dave,

Where is Old Fort, SC?  I see a few of your pictures that reference that place, but I am not familiar with it.  Got an Old Fort, NC right up the road from here though...

It's a little south of Summerville, SC, west of North Charleston.  The Old Fort FD is now part of the Dorchester County FD.

Oh yeah.  Know that area.  When I was young, I spent a summer with my Dad near Orangeburg, while he was clearing right-of-way for I26.

Keep the pics coming.

That ex-petroleum tank may hold 9100 gal. But I hope they DO NOT fill it up?? That would be over 70,000 pounds of water!!!!!  Just a tad more than that old Mack on 5 axles could handle..

The trailer is divided into several sections.  They only fill some of them, from what I am told.

I think that is the way petroleum tankers are designed??? Take a look next time you see one..

I know it's not bending. I'm just busting balls.
