VIDEO: For generations, the firemen’s fair parade in Warren has stirred excitement with the thunder of sirens and the sight of gleaming fire trucks rolling down Main Street. For one local resident, preserving that magic means more than just memories. Don Worley’s 1928 American LaFrance fire truck, lovingly restored and proudly driven, has become a staple of Warren’s 4th of July parade since the 1980s. And while it’s not a parade day, Worley and Erie News Now’s John Last took to the streets to relive that thrill. “Who wouldn’t?” said Worley from the driver’s seat. “That’s why I got it. Just to be able to ride around in that thing. Look at this!” The truck’s story goes back nearly a century. It first served the Bradford Fire Department until 1952, then spent two decades at the Bradford Airport. After sitting abandoned in an oil field, Don found it in 1977.
