Latest Project

Tires on the restored 1923 LaFrance were becoming a safety concern. After a nationwide search, new ones were found on the East coast and shipped; the historically accurate tires were then installed. In June of 2021, new tires were also procured for the unrestored 1923 LaFrance fire engine and installed. Celebrate with us the 100th Anniversary of these engines this year!
