Angels Camp, CA....Join the Firefighters from the Angels Camp Fire Department for the 46th Annual Fireman's FunDay on August 23rd. Fireman's FunDay is an annual benefit for the Angels Camp Fire Department. In 1961, the firemen from the Angels Camp Volunteer Fire Department would host an annual control burn and then after they were all done they would allow all the children to take a ride on the back of the fire engine.......
 
A bunch of county youngsters get a preview of the traditional ride on the 1963 GMC fire engine for Firemen's FunDay. The funtruck engine was dedicated to Howard Stone, who was the annual funtruck driver for firemen's funday.
