SAINT LUCIA FIRE SERVICE

A SET OF HITCHES, THEY ARE VERY THIN, NOT MUCH PROTECTION


THE VIEW FROM THE BACK DECK

THIS WAS A DRIVE BY PIC. NOTICE THE TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE BAY. IT IS A BRONTO SKYLIFT WITH A 72METER STICK.
HERE IS A FEW PICS THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET WHILE ON MY HONEYMOON IN ST. LUCIA, WI. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY THE STATION ABOVE TO ASK FOR SOME T'S. I ONE THING THAT I NOTICED IS THAT THEY WERE NOT THAT THE FIREMEN WERE NOT VERY FRIENDLY. ON THE LAST DAY ON THE ISLAND BY CHANCE OUR CAB DRIVER WAS A 20 YEAR RETIRED ISLAND FIREMAN. I WAS ABLE TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF INFO. I WISH THAT I HAD RAN INTO HIM EARLIER TO GET A FULL TOUR OF ALL THE HOUSES. HE IS NOW VOLUNTEER AND GETS CALLED BACK TO DUTY DURING SHORTAGES. THERE IS CURRENTLY 6 STATIONS FOR THE WHOLE ISLAND WITH THE 7th BEING BUILT NOW. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A TOTAL OF 11 WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. I NEVER NOTICED ANY HYDRANTS ON THE ISLAND BUT ACCORDING TO THE RETIRED FIREMAN THEY HAVE BOTH DOMESTIC AND SEA WATER SYSTEMS. THERE IS A FEW 5000 GPM PUMPS STAGED AROUND THE ISLAND FOR THE SEA WATER OPERATIONS. THEY DO MAKE INTERIOR ATTACKS AND HAVE THE JAWS OF LIFE.
