More than 80 vintage fire trucks rolled into WheatonArts this weekend for the 37th annual Fire Apparatus Show and Muster in Millville, New Jersey. The grand display was a visual history of the evolution of fire and emergency apparatus.

There were hand pumpers and horse drawn apparatus, plus engines from historic manufacturers such as Ward LaFrance, Mack, International Hahn, Ford (Model T), GMC, Seagrave, Pierce and International Oren.

And amazing details like wooden ladders and wheel spokes, retro bullet-shaped lights, brass fittings, and hand cranks for both sirens and windows.

Cool Springs (NC) Completes New Fire Station

The Cool Springs Volunteer Fire Department has a new home. The new Station One on Mocksville Highway, nearly across the street from the old station, was officially completed on Saturday when the department moved its fire trucks. With 24,000 square feet of space, the $4 million building will give the department room to grow in the coming decades, Fire Chief Andy Webster said.

Construction on Cool Springs’ fire station began June 2016. The building has living space, added storage, a community room for rent, a gym and a full kitchen. Iredell EMS and Iredell Rescue Squad will both add emergency vehicles to the station in the coming months, and the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office will use the building for its patrol deputies.

About three acres of land were purchased for a new fire station about 10 years ago.
