Old 104 Rides Again by Carrie Steinweg Old 104 is an antique fire engine who wants nothing more than to be able to race to a fire again. Because he’s been restored, he is stuck inside a garage watching all the new engines and trucks do all the work. He enjoys being admired at parades and special events, but one summer day he finally gets the chance to show what he can do. |
