 | Aldie's First Fire Engine
This used 1948 Chevrolet fire engine was Aldie VFD's first fire engine. This engine cost $5500, and served Aldie until 1972 when it was destroyed by flash flooding during Tropical Storm Agnes. Photo credit unknown.

 | Agnes Flood Stage
In the months following Tropical Storm Agnes, the USGS and NOAA studied the flood levels. In this photo, (the original report has no legible photos), the 100-year flood stage is about 2.5 feet above the road surface at the immediate end of the bridge (roughly the top of the dumpster). The 500-year flood stage is about 6 feet above the road surface at the end of the bridge, or roughly the top of the SUV that is crossing the bridge. The estimated stage of the Agnes flood was at midpoint between 100-year and 500-year stages. Photo by Mike Carter.
