Today Mo and I took the 78 Horton down to Plattsville, Ontario for the grand opening of their new Fire Hall. Wayne Krakowski invited me at the St. Thomas Fire Muster back in August, and I was happy to attend.
It was cold and windy but no rain as the people of Plattsville came to check out the new "digs" and play with the trucks !
The Fire dept had 3 trucks, two were giving rides around town lights and sirens "blaring' for everyone who wanted a ride, they had a smoke house, The OPP were there showing off their equipment, even the canadian Army were there showing off their stuff including a hand held rocket L and assorted weapons. The only no-show was the boys and girls from the local EMS ! so I was the only Ambulance there.
The new fire Hall is a far cry from the old station ......BIG, BRIGHT and ROOMY
Lots of hot dogs and burgers to go around and a great time was had by all
Thanks goes out to Wayne and Paul the Fire chief for inviting me We had a great time ....and the best part..... The 78 Horton ran GREAT all the way down the 401 through Toronto to Plattsville and back home. And the mileage wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
here are some pictures from the day:
