First Radio Installed In CV’s Ward

On March 7, 1955 the Cumberland Valley Hose Company’s Ward LaFrance was taken to Carlisle to have a mobile radio installed. This was the C.V.’s first fire engine to have a radio installed. The two Vigilant Seagraves were scheduled to be taken to Carlisle to have radios installed the next day.

I would have to agree, I think everyone in the county would (except those working for 911) feel the same way. I could expand on it with the attitudes they have on the radio, along with much more but it would just start a pissing contest. One that I would win by the way.
