Behind the Story
On a drive one day, I passed an old sad looking fire engine. It was sitting in a automobile junk yard, just waiting for someone to want it. I thought to myself, what could I make that fire engine into, because I really don’t need to fight any fires.
I put a picture of the fire engine out on my social media, hoping to get ideas for a name, and my Uncle Paul Schmitz offered, Snout.
I hope you enjoy Snout, Fire Engine 74 and Captain Paulie’s adventures!
