Featured Photo - This new Spartan / Summit rescue pumper for Crescent Springs / Villa Hills Rescue 524 will be shown at FDIC this week in Indianapolis.  This picture was taken shortly after the graphics were added, and I didn't realize when I took it how much shadow was on the truck.  I'll be able to get better pictures once the truck returns from the show.
