The brand new American LaFrance pumper truck is offloaded from a boxcar on March 16, 1955. This photo appeared on the front page of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World the next day. The pumper now sits at Douglas County Fire Medical's investigation center, 1839 Mass., awaiting restoration by current firefighters.
