Atlanta Fire Dept. Airport station.
The Atlanta, Ga. Fire Dept. operates Crash Fire Rescue for the W.B. Hartsfield Intl. Airport. I don't remember the Station number, poss. station 40. In the background is the old control tower. A new, higher one opened last year.

Personnally I have visited 3 FS in this Airport N°24, 32&35, just mising 40, I have taken the majority of their fleet in 1993, I am french but really interested by this topic, I have visited many AP FC during my travel in your country, I collect the rigs from large cities recent and old, many good US photographer know me, I have attended several IFBA Conventions in USA, in the past, I am subscriber of the VF, I am it is odd for a french people to the ARFFWG, so I have had more easiness to enter in safety zones of the AIRPORTS where the FS are located, I have so visited some ANG, NAS&AF bases to take pictures of the rigs.
I have a slide of the 1973 ALF 1000/1000/50F/FM TURRET which is in this picture of effectively FS.35 from my great friend, unfortunately deseased M.DICK ADELMAN with some more as the big 1960 ALF 6wd 750/1500/200F Y.5, the 1973 ALF of the photo but in the other side, & finally the 1969 WLTERCB3000 4wd 2000/3000/500F, I have also some french SLIDES of AIRPORT CRASH rigs, shot by myself
my complete collection of slides/prints is up to 25, 000. Take care

Jean-Pierre, my friend, I hope you are doing well! I was one of your tour guides in Atlanta in 1993. They have added a fifth station at the airport, Station 33. All of the apparatus you photographed then have been replaced. Security is a little tighter at the airport now, but I still have contacts there. Come back anytime.
