Our latest road trip took us along the Connecticut shore and
on to explore fire departments on
Long Island, NY. We saw some of the most impressive fire stations and
apparatus on this trip.
There were a number of fire rescue boats on the agenda and we found a few more.
Perhaps
the most interesting were the Long Island style brush trucks known locally as
"Stump Jumpers"
which are similar in some ways to Cape Cod brush breakers, but definitely have
their own
unique design to serve the needs of the many Long Island communities.
DAY 3
We began day 3 on the south shore of Long Island with several
boats in the
Islip area of the Great South Bay. We made it all the way to Montauk Light
and then back to Riverhead for the night.
