Former fire chief remembers '67 blaze in The Plains, Va.

In February 1967, The Plains, in Fauquier County Virginia, was the site of a massive fire that started when a truck struck a train in town. A by-stander with a camera happened to be nearby and captured this video which was later narrated by Fire Chief George Beavers. Even though we can not confirm that any Leesburg units responded, it is still an interesting look into firefighting from 50 years ago.

Thanks to Capt. Murphy for bringing it to our attention.
