Central Square, in Oswego County. We ran Oswego County races for the better part of the 80's, with some success. We had several members into going up the next step. Having two pumpers down at the same time and not knowing how much the two bills was going to be, prevented even myself from voting yes on it at the time ( as much as I would like to have ). We tried a couple other options but neither paned out in the end. For a couple of years, we went to the states, ran the 3 man ladder race, for kicks and giggles. In the end, our County races pretty much ended in the 90's, what little equipment we had is packed away. I still attend the state races every year they have been upstate, along with a small group of us "old timers" and still dream! LOL.

Diverdown,
To the best of My knowledge the North Pole C-Truck is still sitting in there station or very close by in one of there members garage's. I think i may have to take the 10 minute road trip up there and see what i can find out. From what i remeber that was not only a great looking truck but fast as well.

The c-truck of north poles sits in there station 2 with tarp over it. that truck is new it never ran a full season the same guy who built our motor built that truck. We have tried to buy it for a good price but they won't sell. I believe there ladder and hose and pads are all on the wall behind it.
