This is the first truck that the Ridgeway District Volunteer Fire Department put into service (located in Ridgeway, Va). The volunteers have worked hard over the past several years to restore this truck. The truck is a 1959 Ford F750 American La-France 500 Gallon Pumper.  It was restored as part of the departments 50th anniversary.  Most of the work was donated by local businesses and the volunteer firemen.  The restoration process has taken 4 years to complete.  Picture shown courtesy of Chief Brian Draper
