Just a collection of forest fire trucks from the northeast corner of Connecticut and nearby areas of Massachusetts & Rhode Island I've taken over the years (except one as marked). A few of these may have been retired as some of these photos date to the early 2000s.

Chepachet, RI


Leicester, MA

The trailer carries the "Bomardier" -- a Bomardier J5 built up as an off road engine. **This is not my pic -- I collected it off the internet from someone (I believe) named Ozzie Pike based on how I had it filed.** But it's worth sharing:

Oxford, MA...does it count as a forestry when you lay in a few thousand feet of 5" for the brush fire?


Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management:

Southbridge, MA:


Couple trucks from Spencer, MA:



Union, CT


Voluntown, CT Squad 153. First backpack blower I saw in Connecticut. Also notice they carry a hydraulic rescue tool. F450 and F550 chassis really seem to be reviving the small vehicle concept.
