Here's part of the article: GEISTOWN, Pa. — Joshua Chilcote in many ways is just your typical 14-year-old teenager. He attends high school where he runs track and plays soccer. He also listens to his iPod, talks on his cell phone and plays video games just like every other kid his age. But unlike most of his peers, Joshua has accomplished something quite extraordinary —winning an AFG for a brand new fire engine.
I hate to say it, but that truck won't rot in the bay. It stays busy enough. That pic is a few years old. Blondie there,17 ,operating the truck is making me a grandfather before I wanted to be. And yes, I still love her to death.
Hi Chad, my wife belongs to the fire dept and is crazy about it, so i don't have that problem. she is the truck driver and pump operator, and is a er nurse at one of our local hospital. that is appro. 12 miles away. nice picture, is that a new truck in the photo? were from a small rural dept. stay safe. God Bless, write when you can. we are both emt's and getting ready to recert.
Chad, welcome to the Nation. Glad you dropped in to join. Lots to do, read and become involved with here. Dont be shy just jump in anywhere and get your feet wet. You will get out of this what you put into it. Your involvement here is important to us all. Have fun and look around.'
