Of interest … Collector’s Call

This from metv.com:

“Fire Chief Gordie Norde collects all things fire related. A firefighter for over 4 decades, Gordie has been collecting fire related items for just as long. His extensive collection includes vintage fire extinguishers, historical fireboxes with original inspection cards, fire helmets with shields, and a vintage toy firehouse. Gordie is joined by his good friend and fellow firefighter Ed Bermann. Firefighter collector Frank McMenamin will value Gordie’s collection and he’s brought along a rare model fire truck of his own to see if he can make a trade with Gordie.”
