The
Phoenix Project
|
|
The Phoenix Project is an effort to combine as
many photographs of the vehicles listed below to
their respective registration or VIN numbers.
Included in this project are vehicles that no
longer exist but a photo remains as well as
vehicles that still exist, no matter the
condition.
If you have photos from your department or in
your personal collection and would like them
added, please email them to
gmishoe@bellsouth.net
. If you know where one is located and you can
take a photo of it, please forward it the same
address.
Please send as much information as possible on
the vehicle. This includes but not limited to
VIN or registry number, fire department,
condition, current owner, location, any
historical info behind the rig.
Special thanks goes to the late John Peckham.
Without his research this project never would
have gotten of the ground. Also thanks to all of
you that have sent in information and assisted
with this project.
If you see any information that may be wrong,
please forward the corrected information to us
and we will make the appropriate changes. |
