The Steadman Station downtown, which is home to Rescue 1 and Engine 23 usually has a big stand set up in the apparatus bays to sell shirts. Also inside the convention center, two retired Balto. City firefighters sell city company t-shirts. They are T & M Apparel. They usually are there all 4 days. You can email me or look me up in the VF. I will put you in touch with the local guys who set up apparatus picture events during that week.

Location: Baltimore

In the past there has been an apparatus shoot of the Baltimore trucks on Friday night at the union house. They also have a great bar-b-que and cheap beer. Sunday for the parade there are also some good spots for photos of the pieces in the parade.

As has been stated...Steadman Station downtown is a great plalce to go. They call it the 'Big House'. It covers almost a city block and has several pieces running out of it. Visited it a couple of times when I was stationed in DC...the guys there are great.
