Guinness World Record Fire Truck Parade Updated

North Dakota - A southeastern North Dakota town believes it has set a new world record for having the most fire trucks in a parade. The town of Casselton recruited 181 fire trucks from throughout the Upper Midwest to take part in Saturday's Cass County Summerfest parade. The old record was 159 trucks.

Greg Kempel is the Casselton ambulance crew member and winery owner who led the effort. He says the town plans to send photographs and other documents on Monday to the Guiness Book of World Records, so judges can confirm the record.

The town of Oberdiessbach, Switzerland, set the previous record three years ago.
