Down the road from Dale City and also located in Prince William County is the Dumfries- Triangle VFD. They once ran this 1970 International as Brush 3.

Not that far from Richmond. It is just south of RT 288, off of Jefferson Davis Hwy. (RT 1 & 301) and north of State Rt 10.

That is a BULLDOG on the bumper. I have to tell you that the truck is a GMC from what is on the side of the cab.[/quote]





John,



You are correct on the GMC. Thank you.
