Want to own your own fire truck? Peabody surplus auction offers up retired vehicles

PEABODY, Mass. — If you've dreamed of owning your own firetruck or turning a school bus into a traveling tiny home, here's your chance.

The city of Peabody is auctioning off 35 surplus vehicles online, including a fire truck, school buses, ambulances and even a fire pumper.

Some vehicles have bids as low as $110 and many of those up for auction note that it's unknown if they run or even start.
