Wonderful footage. Question, The little firetrucks that are at the 2:50 to 3:10 second mark, they look like the exact one I rode in Baraboo in the 90's. Good old Mel Fisher was the one and only person who could tinker with those engines and make them run for me all season. Hard hand crank to start... What year is that footage from and where? Might those be the same vehicals Happy and I played with?
I've always heard those fire trucks in the film are indeed the same one's at the museum. The film is from the late 20's, perhaps Pat could get an exact date.

I was going to air my grievances for Festivus, but the video took them all away! What an inspiration!
Peace on Earth & Goodwill Towards Men (yes, AND Women AND Children, in case it wasn't implicit) back at ya!
