Suzy and Joel and Owen and Evie

Last Sunday Mt. Kisco’s fire companies (there are four!) had an open house, so we thought Owen would like to check it out – especially the rides around town on their various engines!Owen didn’t seem to notice, but on one ride Sue got to blow the air horn & I got to turn on the siren. We probably had more fun with it than he did.We took a ride in a rescue truck, a large rescue truck, and a pump engine made by Pierce of Appleton, Wisconsin! The driver was mighty surprised to learn that I grew up not far from there. Kisco is loyal to Pierce engines. In fact, they’re getting ready to buy a new engine and sell one that’s about 20 years old. Lots of these engines go down South, where “the economy is different.” Mostly, the pumps and hydraulics wear out.
