Thanks for posting these Steve! The Kingsport LSC rig later served Kingsport FD, seen here. Photographer unknown, came from my collection.

Nice picture Micah. I haven't been to Kingsport in 10 years or so. Didn't realize that the rescue truck had moved to the city. I really goofed at the KLSC as they had a Swab ambulance that I should have photographed. Gotta learn to point the camera at the transport units.....

Steve,
You need to get back down to Kingsport one day, they have a really nice modern fleet at both the FD and LSC. KFD has a fleet of 7 engines (3 Seagraves, a few Pierces, and a lone E-One Cyclone), 1 true ladder company that is the only red truck in the fleet, and a hazmat. The Life Saving crew runs a brand new IHC 4400/Pierce, a Spartan/Saulsbury, a F-550/American Fire & Rescue, and a few other support vehicles.
