| The Joplin Fire Department pulled a 1939 Pirsch fire truck, complete with its 100-foot ladder and tiller seat, out of its storage garage. Head over to the JFD facebook page for more pictures and a video that shows the dust billowing from the fenders as this gem feels the Joplin wind. It looks like the truck will clean up nicely, and I think we can expect to see it at special events and parades in the near future. Can you imagine the local history that this thing must have seen? |
