Photos from Ramsey (NJ) Day held September 10

Ramsey Day, a family event full of activities, was held Saturday, September 10 in Ramsey (NJ), featuring two old fire trucks on display at the Robert Litchult Fire Safety Building.

The two trucks on display were an 1885 Babcock Chemical Engine, The Phoenix, purchased for $185 from the Rutherford (NJ) Fire Department in 1899, and a 1927 American LaFrance, a 600 GPM pumper. The LaFrance was the first new and first motorized piece of fire apparatus purchased by the Ramsey Fire Department from the manufacturer. It still runs and pumps today. It serves as a public education piece, and a favorite in the town’s Home for the Holidays parades, ushering in Santa, and funeral details.
