Who's that on the License Plate? This California custom license plate, available only to active or retired firefighters, has a photo of Kurt Russell in a scene from the movie "Backdraft". This license plate is available in a smaller format for motorcycles, too.

The Union Hall building was originally the Central Headquarters for the Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection District, until headquarters was moved to its present location in 1991. The building is now the meeting hall and offices for the IAFF local #1165 firefighter's union.

The union also owns this utility van, which it uses for it's numerous functions. No technical data about this vehicle is available at this time. A former delivery van, it was completely refurbished, partially with donations from local companies.
