Volunteer Fire Company # 2 of Point Pleasant, NJ had this beautiful 1957 Ward LaFrance "Fireball" 500/500 pumper. It was powered by a Chrysler Industrial V8 gasoline engine. This was my baby as I grew up here in town chasing this rig around on my bike. It was replaced in 1989 by a Hahn pumper and donated to small FC in Buckhorn, VA. There were strong rumours of it coming home, but it never happened. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
