Barriere firefighters were very excited to greet a new fire truck, reports

The new 2021 truck’s engine is a 350 horse Cummins, has a Freightliner chassis, a Hale DSD1250 Midship Pump, Emergency Rescue Pumper with side control operator’s panel, the body construction is saltwater marine grade aluminum, and the water tank holds 1,000 gallons.

The fire department posted to Facebook, “After it’s 2100km journey. Driving through snow, freezing rain, rain, wind and finally a beautiful sunny day. Barriere Fire Rescue’s Engine 2 is finally home. Over the next week we will outfit it and learn the few new options. Then on Thursday after practice it will enter service. Ready to protect the community for the next 20 years.”

A still-operational Buffalo fire station was built in 1897 when horses still pulled the engines, reports WKBW Buffalo.

Engine 28 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The fire station has the fire department’s only operational fire pole.

The stalls which once held the teams of horses here are now gone, but the doors to those stalls remain.
