A 1949 Mack fire truck, Engine 9 (NOT the train from the song) worked in Milwaukee area firehouses for more than three decades – into the 1970s – and now it has been returned to its former glory and will reside at the society's museum, 1615 W. Oklahoma Ave.
"We got Engine 9 about three years ago," says former firefighter and MFHS treasurer and newsletter editor Randy Leach. "We got it from Paul Conway, who is a former assistant chief. He donated it."
