Condition: Good
Description: Fire Chief James Chapell is right proud of the new fire truck that the Houghton Department got for "a song". He appreciated the work done on it and the fact that now it is a great aid to the department which has its headquarters high above Houghton and, in winter, can almost slide to each fire. Chappell says he is both proud of the truck and the unit in that the latter is composed of "dedicated" men. [Mr. Chappell stands next to the new City of Houghton F.D. truck.]
