For the first time in 39 years the Brookline Volunteer Fire Company - Station 35 1970 Maxim/International 100ft mid mount ladder truck was again crossing the fire company apron. The truck is in need of some serious repairs and maintenance. Stay tuned for more information as we get moving on this project.

Are you interested in helping? We will have a funding campaign to get this across the finish line.

A new acquisition for the museum is this 1970 Mack R608F1042 that once served Columbia Missouri. The great part about this truck is that it still has the original Mack body and wasn’t refurbed

Elyse and I were invited up to the monthly meeting of the Box 52 Association in Middleton Massachusetts at their new station.

We presented the Philadelphia Fire Department “Then and Now”

It was a great trip finished off at the Boston Fire Museum. Thank you for the hospitality.

The Brookline 1969 International Maxim is back on the road since bringing it home. We still have plenty of work to do but today was a great day.
