Vermontville, Michigan, next to the fire department. Of course. Don't know much about these statues except that they're there.

Kalamazoo Fire Department's Engine 9, as photographed by Martin Sernstinger at the Kalamazoo Fairgrounds in (roughly) 1955. Eventually KFD would move their training exercises to a specialized facility off King Highway, but these photographs predate that. Unfortunately, Dad didn't leave me any training-exercise photos half as dramatic as Alessandro Cani's . But Marty's pictures are, nonetheless, excellent. Don't recall who the handsome dude is. Partly that's because I was six in 1955, but mostly it's because it's been fifty years.
