NORTH CHARLESTON, SC - North Charleston, South Carolina, in
conjunction with American LaFrance, has opened a fantastic new
facility for the public and firefighters to learn about fire safety
as well as one of the most recognized brands in the fire service.
I had the opportunity to visit the
museum
over the Memorial Day weekend. If you are ever in the Charleston
area, it is a must see destination. Photographers will spend hours
pouring over the pristine American LaFrance collection that at one
time was housed in North Carolina. We are sad to have lost the
units, but they are in very good hands in their new home.
