Want To Buy A Fire Truck? Andover's Got One For You

ANDOVER, MA — Every boy had a toy fire truck growing up. If you had one in high school too, well, that's OK. But Andover is making it cool for an adult to relive those glory days - but this time without the 'toy' part.

If you really do want your own personal fire truck, you can get one here, where the Town has one up for auction. As of this writing, the top bid of 16 submitted was $2,700. Seems like a steal: It's still in "great condition," the listing says. It was made in 1996 and you can drive it right off the lot.

Here's some info, courtesy of the listing.
