Antique Oregon Fire Apparatus Needs Building
I enjoy museums and fire service history, so what better than a fire museum!
The Oregon Fire Services Museum is looking to put up a building to house their apparatus. Here is a good article from The Register-Guard that describes the equipment they have and their plans to build their museum.
TANGENT - Here they sit. Some of them. Motionless. No sirens blaring, no more fires to race toward, no firemen riding the tailboard.
Just sitting, unbuffed, in a moving and storage garage.
Not exactly a museum; not exactly an honorary locale.
There is nifty slide show of some of the apparatus. The slide show has audio of a couple of the guys on the museum board talking about their plans. Good stuff!
