The Quickstep This is a model of early fire apparatus used in Bolton, Massachusetts. The original piece is in a museum in New York. When the original went to the museum, two models were made. One model was given to the town of Bolton, and the other was given to the fire chief at the time, who happend to be my Grandfather. Four generations of my family have served on the Bolton volunteer fire department, including myself.
