A Son’s Dream – The Backdraft Monster Truck

The very popular fire truck bodied Backdraft that debuted in 2003.

(Story By: Fred Disharoon)

In the quaint little bi-state railroading community of Delmar, Maryland is where a dream began. On 203 Pine St. in Delmar, Maryland was the home of the Disharoons, a family deeply involved in the community. The family consisted of father, mother, and two siblings. Both the father and mother had great interest in the growth of Delmar and were involved heavily. The father was mayor and president of the fire department, and the mother held equal responsibilities on local government commissions and president of the fire department auxiliary. With these interests, naturally the little Dishaoon’s were in the background, forming their future. The son followed the father to the firehouse daily, as that is where the father spent much of his off time. There was a white dog with black spots, Ringo, that followed them. With this type of environment, you can imagine what was going through a little boy’s mind. The red fire trucks were exciting and the alarm when it sounded would never go away.
