Kingman FD

Kingman FD was a stop I had really looked forward to, in July 1973 a railroad tank car caught fire and exploded killing 6 fire fighters. We were greated by members of the department who took us to the local Harley shop and a small tour of the area around the station, we were informed of the story of the tank explosion and were shown the end portion of the tank sitting in their training yard. We look forward to future visits with your department and firefighters.
