Pleasant Hall Barn Burns
On August 20, 1937 at 3:20 p.m. lightning struck a barn one mile west of Pleasant Hall. Firemen had to respond and fight the fire in a driving rainstorm. Firemen were on the scene and had a stream of water playing in 15 minutes. Apparatus remained on the scene nearly two hours. Along with the barn a truck, 25 acres of wheat and 18 acres of rye were destroyed. Damages were estimated at $3,500. The Vigilant Hose Company answered the alarm.

Nice picture of West End. I liked that Squad too, but not as much as the GMC. Like the twin MACKS.
Those are some BAD looking bulldogs there. Brad, how did the city boys do with the MDA boot drive? Hats off to them for it
When they did it last Friday it was the best single day ever with (I think) $7,100.00. I don't know what had been collected previously but our goal this year is $20,000.00.
Excellent!!! Let me take a guess.Rescue, 1960 to 64 International/Swab.1972 Mack CF600,and 1967 CF600?
1961 International Gertenslager
1973 CF Mack
1968 CF Mack
The Squad was replaced shortly after with a 1983 MC Mack, Saulsbury. It was a great Mack house then.
