Adairville VFD Purchases City's Original 1927 Fire Truck

By Brent Holman - For the NDL The Adairville Volunteer Fire Department, by generous support of the community, has brought home a piece of department and city history in the form of the 1927 General Motors Truck Corporation-Yellow Cab Company chemical fire truck that once served the city of Adairville.

Since the fire truck was decommissioned by the city in the 1950s, the truck has had several owners in Kentucky and surrounding states. For year’s stories circulated back to Adairville that the fire truck was still around. Given that it was common for these older vehicles to be scrapped, these sightings were significant. And as we’ll learn this truck was not only meant to survive but eventually find its way back to the town it once protected. One Adairville Firefighter who always wanted to find the old fire truck and bring it back home was Adairville Rural Fire Chief, Teddy Smith.
