JOSH,

I wud suggest you go to the VF website and check and see about getting your neme on the mailing list for the 2010 issue. They usually send out the forms to be listed in late fall....highly recommended publication.

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.

I was sorry to see that the VF was switching to an every other year publication. I have only been in it since the late 80's but have made many friends through it. I always take mine with me when I travel.
