Union City Fire Fighters - 1939

My brother Marty sent me the picture of the old fire ladder trailer that was used in the early 1900's in Union City.  See the posting below to see the ladder trailer that is on loan to the Michigan Firehouse Museum in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Comments from Marty ....This 1939 picture is of three fireman with the ladder wagon. They are on East High Street in front of from the old fire station. Note they were pulling the wagon with a tractor instead of horses and also note the rubber fire bucket on the ground. The fireman on the right is Arthur Merchant. The other two are unknown. In the background is the vacant lot where the Union Hotel stood.
