Engine "Assistance" had an engine made in Germany while the wooden parts made locally by Peter Getz. |
The nameplate on this fire engine says "Friendship" which you will see isn't the name given to the engine. I read that the name plates somehow got changed on the two engines. |
This is a photo I took of "Friendship" which is on display nearby at the Lititz Mutual Insurance Company. |
This plaque is on one side of the center wooden unit. |
Wooden wheels were made with metal rims for travel on the roads. |
Example of the water buckets used by the bucket brigade to pour water into the side units of the fire engine. |
Even though this is the second engine, it carries the name of the initial engine purchased. Somehow the name plates got switched over the years of use. |
