Jackson Hole Fire/EMS outgrew its Hoback fire station years ago, Redwine said. And because the property at Hoback Junction is deed restricted, purchasing land that is not gives the department options to expand and even include employee housing.

The tools include two cutters, two spreaders, two combination tools — cutter and spreader in one — and a ram.

The tools they are replacing are hydraulic, powered by a generator. The new ones are powered by long-lasting batteries.

“They are lighter, much faster and because they are battery-powered, they can go just about anywhere we need them,” Barringer said.

This one-day-only exhibit will include the museum’s own 1931 Seagrave Pumper Truck, a 1960s High Top ambulance, late 1800s hose carts, and at least six additional fire trucks dating from the early 1940s through early 1970s. Owners of the vehicles will be available to answer questions and engage in discussion throughout the afternoon.
