    Thought I'd post this in case anyone is into parades with lots and lots of fire trucks (new and old) . . . or in case anyone was thinking about caching in the Winslow/Waterville area (since it should be quite busy on Saturday morning.)

    I also hear that Tom (from TOS) was going to be on the Budweiser cart passing out beer... (not sure how that could be legal, so I think it's just rumor... why couldn't they have guiness horses??)

    but i agree with cameo, I want my own fire truck... with 4wd...

    I think Guiness gets leprechauns as their "mascot".

    The Hose 5 Fire Museum has one similar to this . . . thought you'd like this one best of all. If you're ever in the area sometime and want to stop off to check this out on your "break" give me a call and if I'm available I'll open the museum for you.

    I think it's Corinth FD that has a Hummer similar to this one . . . however it's been awhile since I've seen it and my memory might be a bit vague.

    Well . . . my job has to do with fire protection and prevention and firetrucks have to deal with fire protection . . . so I guess I could say I'm just doing my job here.
