"Working with the Jenkins Group was a GREAT experience. The project began with hundreds of pictures (that spanned decades) in a box and an idea for a 100 year anniversary book to celebrate the camp and everything it meant to the girls and young women who have spent summers here. It was a very positive experience and we came away with a beautiful book that is a true tribute to the camp and its history."

At the end of World War II, the wartime ban on manufacturing non-military vehicles left the fire service with a well-worn, inadequate fleet. Manufacturers were eager to produce new equipment using postwar technology while working collectively to improve safety standards within the fire service. Their desire to pool these ideas, experiences, and efforts led to the creation of the Fire Truck Manufacturers’ Association — predecessor of today’s Fire Apparatus Manufacturers’ Association (FAMA). This book celebrates 75 years of FAMA and it’s crucial role in fire fighting through the years.
