Wow… that is beautiful. My great grandfather would tell us how neat the horse drawn fire engines were when he was a kid. The horses, the steam engines and the Dalmatians probably was a sight. My Grandma (his daughter) even had Dalmatians her whole life.

 

Last September Mrs. OrthmannJ and I went on a little weekend getaway and on one of our outings we came across this old fire engine. Last weekend we were back in the same area and I wanted to show it to the boys.



It's an International. And that's pretty much all I know about it.


There were no "no trespassing" or "private property" signs around, but it's still someone else's property, so I just took some photos and called it good.



Pretty cool regardless.
