In the area, we have an old single bay firehouse that was built around 1896, that was closed 100 (?) years later in 1996 (?). That firehouse, former Engine 6 quarters, was sold at the time for less than $100,000. The owner purchased it with plans to convert that old firehouse into a pizza restaurant, which he did. It is called: "Engine 6 Pizza".

Inside that converted firehouse are a few relics from days of the past. It is still in business today located at 195 West Thames St, Norwich, Ct. During it's operation as a firehouse it was referred to as "The Best in the West".

Bruce Harding, a member of the Old Dominion Historical Fire Society, has taken his 1975 ALF and turned it into a "Tailgate Fire Truck', complete with BBQ, large screen TV, and big sound system. While it isn't a commercial venture, I still think it qualifies as a food truck, don't you?
