Fire Apparatus - Hurricane Visitors

This page is dedicated to the out of state fire departments that sent equipment to the state of Mississippi in response to Hurricane Katrina. All of the equipment I shot was from Missouri, near the St. Louis area and was stationed in the Long Beach and Gulfport areas. There are also several pieces of equipment donated to various Mississippi fire companies and came primarily from the New York and Pennslvania areas.
