Is the 65 Crown in the photos below at the Hall of Flame or is it just a photo in their photo collection?

These are from the Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting History

If anyone is interested in antique equipment go to www.hallofflame.org and take a look at some of the restored equipment including helmets.
Everything we have on display has been restored and some of the trucks will pump water or foam including a 1725 Newman Hand Pumper from England.

My fire department just had its 100th anniversity. We had a monument made with every member on the department since 1910. Any one who wants a good way to display department history thats the way to go. Our monument is on display at our county court house... Thanks....

Hey Guys for those of you who try to post pictures, and it is using so much bandwidth (Huge FILES) you will find the picture is distorted , and that is IF they ever load, what happens is you basicly ruin the THREAD which gets stuck especially with multiple files that dont load. One group about Boats every single photo is so distorted and useless That that group is ruined I've Posted a whole lot of things in this particular group I enjoy the subject matter and prefer it doesnt get shut down, yes it can be frustrating but if you dont the group is ruined .. if I could learn enough to do it, anyone can

Comment by Ryan Alice on April 27, 2010 at 6:07pm er well I called it a truck but it was actually horse drawn..... either way....

Actually Ryan the term a "truck" predates Horses and comes from using a set of wheels or maybe a dolly to help move heavy ladders through the neighborhood to the fire... as buidings grew Up ladders got bigger and 2 sets of wheels or a carrage carried the ladders and other tools torches and roof /thatch hooks the longer the ladders got that harder to get em around so a "tiller" was added on the back end to provide steering with both axles , Just an example of how grass roots Firefighting reallly is even into this century
