We met today at the Last Resort Fire Department to sketch their vintage engines and equipment. It's a relatively small place but there were lots of fire trucks. It's next to a modern Fire Station so we had to be prepared to move out of the way if the Chiefs' needed to roll out in their cars, which were also stored in the museum garage.
I started with the 1924 Seagrave 800 GPM Pumper. I only sketched the front half as I wanted to leave room on the page for other objects in a montage. The boots and helmet were on the floor behind a battalion chief's vehicle. I presumed they were there so as to be quickly put on. This was a very fancy chief's badge on one of the helmets on the floor.
