The heat is on and the countdown has already begun to the Fair Haven Firemen’s Fair.

And, back in the day, the 1960s day, the fire department, rather than raffling off a car, SUV or a big chunk of cash (as in Super 50/50), decided to make a boat the prized prize of the fair. And they advertised that with the help of some fire department-affiliated bathing beauties.

Of course, when it was hot and there was something cool to show off in front of the firehouse, the opportunity was, in fact, seized to Vanna-like showcase the the groovy boat prize.

So, here they are, the girls on the boat …

Just who are these FHFD showboat bathing beauties? Recognize these fire company classic posers?
