Here are some photos I snapped this past Saturday, April 6th, 2019, during the FDIC preparations at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. These shots were taken at the staging area where all the firefighting equipment was being organized for the event. It was an impressive sight to see so many well-maintained vehicles lined up and ready to go.

A few of these trucks had just been cleaned, which explains why they looked so pristine in the images. You can really see the effort that goes into keeping them in top condition. There's something about the way sunlight reflects off their polished surfaces that makes the whole setup look almost cinematic.

I couldn't help but notice the variety of brands represented here—everything from Rosenbauer to Seagrave, Ferrara, and KME. Each truck seemed to have its own unique features and color schemes, which made it fun to photograph them one by one.
Take a look at this Rosenbauer Commander ACP-55 destined for Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. The attention to detail is incredible!

And here’s another interesting shot of a Pasco County Fire Department vehicle with their distinctive decals. It’s always fascinating to see how departments personalize their trucks.

There was also a fantastic KME quint from the Salisbury Fire Department. This truck looked absolutely massive parked alongside the others.

Not to mention, there was a stunning Ferrara Cinder fire truck belonging to Wabash Township. Its sleek design caught my eye immediately.

One of my favorite shots has to be this Patterson, New Jersey, heavy rescue vehicle. It’s such a versatile piece of equipment, perfect for tackling any emergency situation.

Lastly, take a look at this beautiful Seagrave Capitol engine bound for Alexandria, Virginia. The craftsmanship is evident in every corner of this machine.

I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them. FDIC is always a great opportunity to see cutting-edge technology and hear stories from firefighters around the world. If anyone wants more details or specific information about any of these trucks, feel free to reach out!
