Turn Back The Clock pt. 36

Leeds Fire Department

David Goodson shares this picture from when he visited Leeds Fire Department as a child. Thank you, David, for the picture!

From David Goodson:

Here's an old photo. The back is dated 5/29/1965. It is of Leeds FD's brand new 1965 Ford Pumper which was "Engine 2" for years. The man standing beside the truck is Mayor James Bailey.

This is a scan of an old black and white Polaroid photo my dad took of me sitting in the truck. My recollection is that the truck had just been delivered, and not yet placed in service. The photo was taken at the city Garage, which is adjacent to what is now Station 2.
