Engine 1 will soon be leaving, but when the vehicle returns after nine to 12 months it will look good as new.
Chief Matt Henderson said the 1936 Chevrolet American LaFrance will likely be going to a Church Hill company who specializes in restoring classic vehicles such as the cityâs original fire engine.
âWe have done some fundraising and the city has some funds also. Weâll completely refurbish that truck. That is the peopleâs fire truck. When you come into our station we want you to come in and sit in the driverâs seat,â Henderson said.
The work will be in the $60-80,000 range, Henderson said.
