2008 Challenge, Week 16: Richmond Fire Station No. 7
Posted by jeremy on April 18th, 2008 filed in 2008challenge, Photo Challenge, PhotosThis week, I headed over to Richmond Fire Station No. 7 to continue my series of fire stations for the 2008 Challenge. At the previous fire stations, everything was closed up and there was nobody to be seen. However, this time, the doors were open and the firefighters were inside. This station is staffed by three firefighters (down from what used to be a staff of 12). I met Bruce Tinloy, Dan Linstad, and Carolyn Conry, the firefighters that were on shift at the time.
Carolyn was kind enough to give me a tour of the fire station, and allowed me to take photographs inside the station. As a result, this week’s entry to the 2008 Challenge has four shots.

Thanks to Bruce, Dan, and Carolyn for taking the time to show me around the station and answer my questions!
