Picture of the Day - Engine 8192 Down!

As I was getting back into town from my Portland trip--- quite literally so as I was stopped in traffic at the intersection of Niblick Road and the South Spring Street off-ramp en route to my house I espied Paso Robles FD Engine 8192 being towed to the city yard on South Riverside Avenue. I followed it to see what was going on and given it was taking back roads to stay off main roads I was able to anticipate its route and get set up for a photo as it passed by me on South Pine Street at 6th Street. Drift smoke from the Turkey Fire near Parkfield is visible in the background. Note: by the next day this apparatus was operational again. Photo by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved).
