Mt. Vernon Professional Firefighters Local 738 is spearheading a petition drive to save this 1939 fire engine, which arrived in the King City in March 1940. Local 738 believes the truck to be an important part of the fire department's history, according to Doug Boczek of the union. The city does not have the resources to continue to store the vehicle, according to City Manager Ron Neibert, and it is expected to be sold at an auction. No date has been set for the sale.
