Bowmansville, New York, lies just East of the airport near Buffalo, NY. Tucked between a couple of highways, its Fire Hall is the main building in town. The culture is small town rural America, rarely encountered anymore, where life circulates between the country churches and service organizations like the volunteer fire department. The rural traditions of loyalty and service, looking out for each other, blend here with the modern trucks and high tech equipment required for responding to Thruway, train, and airport emergencies as well as injuries, illnesses, and farm accidents.
For someone from downstate, the ceremonial life of the company is as exotic as the magic of the great trucks are to small children.
