The Perry, IA. Fire Department has chosen 1st Gear to reproduce a collectible model of their 1951 Ward-LaFrance pumper.

Thanks for the information, just ordered one! I hope they do better than Clinton MD apparently did with their Kenworth Titan model by First Gear. I'm assuming they didn't sell that well because the Fire Dept said they intended to make more of their apparatus if the Kenworth sold well but no plans have been announced. The Titan is still available on the dept's website, now at $60, about $20 less than original price. Too bad - that is a great model and extremely accurate and well-detailed.
