At his own fire engine museum in Estes Park Colorado, volunteer fireman Doug Klink and a small group of volunteer experts restore the last Kansas City Ahrens-Fox back to operating, showroom condition. Klink and his crew are as disarming and likable as they are knowledgeable, and this hour is filled with fascinating how-to segments. The drama of getting the old machinery operating again, combine with the emerging beauty of the Ahrens- Fox to create a memorable viewing experience.
