The NJ-WT Volunteer Fire Department Needs Your Help

The North Judson-Wayne Township Volunteer Fire Department has been there for us in time of need.  Now is your chance to help them with something they need.

While many of you might be “too young” to remember, many decades ago, practically in the time before fire…..

No, just joking, we’re only asking you to think as far back as the 60’s to mid 70’s.  The volunteers at the time built a specialized truck for their own amusement.  It was a Crosley Fire Truck that they had modified and used mainly for local parades.  And wouldn’t you know it, while they have photos of lots of other trucks they don’t have any of this particular one.

So if you know someone who lived in North Judson during that time and was a real photo bug, would you please ask if they might have some photos that they are willing to share?  Or maybe you inherited the position of family historian from someone who was a volunteer fireman at the time.  Can we ask you to take a look through the family albums or film footage and see if you have pictures of parades or events that might feature this truck?

Should you find any, you can contact us here at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library on our Facebook page, call us at 574-896-2841, or email lib.norjud@gmail.com.  You can contact the NJ-WT Volunteer Department on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/North-Judson-Wayne-Twp-Volunteer-Fire-Department-187879008060565/about/), call 574-896-2712 and leave a message, or call one of the volunteers that you know and talk to them.

Thanks for anything you can do.
