Huntsville's 1927 Fire Engine Demonstrates It Can Still Pump It Up at 90

In 1927 Huntsville took possession of its new Ahrens-Fox pumper engine. It was the best fire engine money could buy at the time at a cost of $12,500. It was manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio and was shipped June 29, 1927...

The fire engine was retired from active service in 1954 but kept on as a reserve engine. It's last know use as a pumper was during the Huntsville flood of March 1973 when it was used to pump water out of the Huntsville Utilities building for two days.

In 1999 the fire engine took part in it's first modern day Huntsville parade. It has since been restored and continues to take part in Huntsville's parades and today demonstrated that it still has what it takes to be a pumper engine.

Get the ABC11 News App The Gary Sinise Foundation presented the Gray's Creek Volunteer Fire Department with a new firefighting ATV. Firefighters at the department say that in a lot of emergencies, smaller is better.

The foundation gave this $28,000 ATV, completely outfitted with fire and rescue equipment, to the volunteer department.

It can carry 50 feet of hose, 75 gallons of water, along with foam and rescue equipment, and can go anywhere from woods and fields to highways.

In southeastern Cumberland County, that's a big plus.

Zion Market Research, the market research group announced the analysis report titled 'Fire Trucks Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecasts 2016-2024' Global Fire Trucks Market: Overview Fire trucks are vehicles designed for firefighting operations.

Ring the Bell

FLORENCE, Wis. - After almost a century, Florence's antique fire truck was showing its age. The community realized "the truck needed some tender love and care" after it was brought out when Florence hosted the U.P. Firemen's Tournament for the first time in 2009, said Debbie DeMuri secretary/treasurer of the Florence County Historical Society.

It’s taken a few years, but the historical society, along with the Town of Florence and Florence Volunteer Fire Department, will show off the newly restored 1917-1918 fire truck at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Encore on Central in Florence.

The town acquired the Ford truck in 1917. But as it was replaced by more modern models, the 1917 truck went into storage.
