If you’ve ever bothered to sneak a glance at this feature’s byline and for the life of me, I don’t know why you would you may have noticed it reads, David Sanderson.
That’s a typo. For as long as I can remember I’ve answered to Dave. Unless you’re my wife, who has a few other select, er, pet names for me.

The NBVFD is pleased to announce the arrival of an iconic piece of the department’s history. In 1947, the department took delivery of an FMC John Bean high pressure pumper built on a KB International chassis. The truck served the Twin Beaches communities for a number of years before being sold and lost track of.
The department was recently contacted by Robb Johnson, a vintage vehicle collector whose brother discovered the truck in a barn on a piece of property the brother bought in North Carolina. Mr. Johnson’s son noticed a faded “NBVFD” on the truck’s hood which led the him to do some research, find us and offer the truck back to the department.
