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.

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:
