Hey everyone,
This post is from Mike Summa for #TBT (Throwback Thursday)! Mike shared some really cool stuff about the company that revolutionized the American fire service. For many years, their fire trucks were the most recognizable in the industry. Even today, people still debate what led to their eventual downfall. In this post, Mike has shared some images from a late 1970s catalog, and they’re definitely worth checking out.
Here’s what Mike had to say:
