It's anyone's guess on the whereabouts of the 1927 American LaFrance Aerial Fire Truck that is supposed to be on its way to Brownsville.
The truck was purchased by the city for $50,000 who then signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Brownsville Historical Association for its care and preparation for exhibition.
The truck, after it was junked by the city for scrap metal in a local junkyard, was purchased by truck dealer John W. Brown, of Chambersburg, Pa.His son Ronald Earl, told firefighters that his father had always wanted the truck to go back to Brownsville.
The city commission approved the MOU with the Brownsville Historical Association to purchase the fire truck on July 30, 2018. As of yesterday (January 7), city officials expected it to be delivered within the next 45 days. and called its arrival "imminent."

Waste of tax dollars.
Thank Goodness people have an appreciation for History. Hope to be around for the 100th Anniversary of Central Fire Station where I served.
If they have the hots for an old beat up piece of junk then you morons should pay for it - why would the citizens foot the bill?
Always the easy route milking the cow has now become the norm HERE. When will this "STOP".
