This image intrigues me, mostly due to the inscription on the fire truck. (And I'm assuming it's not a clever fake.)

Can any of my northern cohorts shed some light on this? If it's the Bangor I know, there's not enough context for me to recognize which streetcorner this is...

A traffic light at the corner of Main and Water Streets in Bangor, Maine, Friday, Jan. 16, 2004, caked with ice and snow after the building behind it was fully involved in a fire. The historic building, which housed a Masonic lodge, and three other businesses, was reported on fire at 8:30 p.m. Thursday night. Firefighters battled sub-zero temperatures and wind chill and were still on the scene Friday. Photo credit: Michael C. York, AP
