During the year 1958 the Point Pleasant Fire Departmnet was formed in Boone County, Kentucky in an area just northeast of the Greater Cincinnati Airport.
In the early 1960's the Point Pleasant firefighters purchased a pair of 1938 Ahrens-Fox pumpers that had previously served Cincinnati.
In this photo the apparatus to the far left is Engine 38's former rig while the pumper in the middle had last served with Engine 7 (original assigment was Engine 37).
Former Engine 37/7 is now owned by Steve Dalpe of Houston, Texas who is restoring the apparatus back to it's original appearance.

Engine 7's former quarters on the south side of Webster Street (now East 14th) just off of Main Street.
There is a little bit of a building foundation that can be seen on the spot where the firehouse once stood.
