Our "U.S.A." is a 1936 Holabird Fire Truck that was originally made by and for the United States Army. It was made at Camp Holabird in Baltimore, Maryland. It was then stationed at the Plattsburg Barracks in upstate New York. When done serving in Plattsburg, the USA then went to Voorheesville Transportation Depot, again serving the US Army. In 1946 the USA went for surplus sale. It was then that Albert Fox and a group of men from Olive decided to purchase the USA and start "The Olive Fire Department" in 1947. The USA served Olive until 1959, when it's engine failed. Please click the "about" link below for the rest of the USA's story!
