No comments

Morristown, Tennessee’s first truck to not be powered by horses was abandoned until last year when two firefighters decided it was time to try to restore it.

“I can see so much potential with the truck where a lot of people don’t see the potential, but we do see the potential of having the truck going, and it’s just going to be amazing to see it going down the road,” (firefighter Danny) Case said.

The firefighters hope to have it restored and running again by its 100th anniversary. They’ve set up a facebook page dedicated to the restoration and fundraising efforts.
