In the summer of 2003, Pete Lohmer was minding his own business while driving to his Lake Whitney home. But law enforcement officials stopped him at least 10 times, he said, though no law was being broken on his three-day trip from Montana.

he Waco Fire Department Honor Guard/Pipes & Drum nonprofit organization is thrilled with the vehicle, which began its history not far from where Lohmer’s 2003 adventure began.


Dillon, Mont., a town of about 4,000 residents, bought the truck new in 1956 from an American LaFrance dealership in New York. It still has Dillon’s name on it, along with the No. 3 engine number.
