Utah fire department auctioning off the past to pay for the future

Ray Olsen has had it with the pictures. He’s been leaning against the front bumper of a 1966 American LaFrance fire truck, posing for photos as best he can, but there’s a limit, and Ray, a man for whom vanity is not a strong point, has reached it. “That’s it,” he says as Deseret News photographer Ben Braun pauses to check the latest digital images on his camera.
