Fire Trucks to be Auctioned
Lots of fire trucks that were collected over a 30 year period will be auctioned off via sealed bids (from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
DENBO, Pa. -- Lined up one by one like old soldiers dressed in red and white uniforms, dozens of decommissioned firetrucks await their fate in a parking lot along the Monongahela River near this tiny Washington County community.More than four dozen of the old firetrucks, some dating back more than 70 years, will be part of a sealed-bid auction this week in what could be the largest mass firetruck auction ever. The bids will be opened March 22.
The trucks are among 135 fire vehicles collected over at least three decades by the late Sullivan D'Amico, founder of Pechin's Shopping Village in Fayette County. Mr. D'Amico died in February 2005 at the age of 87.
If you are looking for an historic fire engine, this could be your chance.
Here is the auctioneer's website for more details.
