VIDEO: A Neenah-Menasha firefighter is asking for the community's help to bring a piece of fire department history home.
Antique fire truck enthusiast — and Neenah-Menasha firefighter — Amos Mikkelson came across a hidden treasure on Facebook.
"It's a 1965 [Peter Pirsch & Sons truck], which was built in Kenosha, Wisconsin, originally for the Neenah Fire Department," the shift commander said.
Mikkelson and his wife are now buying the antique fire truck, something he says they are happy to do for the community.
"We get by giving," he said. "We give back to the community and that's what makes Neenah so great."
The truck has been in Idaho for years. Mikkelson says the engine still runs, but not well enough to make the journey to Wisconsin on its own. That's why he's started a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of hauling it back.
