Antique Fire Fighting Equipment Reflects History of Pelham Manor
In days of yore, fire fighting equipment in Pelham consisted of iron hoops
with bars used to strike the hoop and summon bucket brigades from
throughout the town. Times changed, of course. In the early 20th century,
fire departments serving the various villages switched from horse-drawn
equipment to automotive equipment.
The Village of Pelham Manor is lucky to have residents who have lovingly
restored and maintain an antique fire engine reminiscent of the equipment
used in the early 20th century. The next time the truck is on the streets,
look closely and you will notice not only the old lanterns and wooden
ladders, but also the leather fire helmets hung along the side of the
truck.
Below are two images of the truck taken on Memorial Day 2005 shortly
before the Memorial Day parade began.
