A Real Treasure - FD’s First Ladder Truck Recovered
THE SEGUIN (TEXAS) FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS joined the growing number of communities that have recovered their early fire apparatus for historic displays. They have brought home their first ladder truck….. a 1904 horse-drawn Seagrave ladder. It was upgraded in 1912 with a Wichita tractor and they have that, too.
The Gazette-Enterprise has the full story here.
If Firegeezer can locate a photo of it, I’ll post it here.
update: The Seguin Gazette-Enterprise has graciously sent us two photos showing the FF’s off-loading the old truck from the delivery trailer and giving the old engine a cranking. Thanks to Ron Maloney.
