Seagrave 70th Anniversary Series Photo Archive

Take an exciting look at one of the most distinct fire engines in American fire apparatus history. High-quality builders’ photos document the nineteen-year production life of the Seagrave 70th Anniversary Series. Coverage begins with the delivery of the first 70th Anniversary Series pumpers to Seagrave’s hometown fire department in Columbus, Ohio, arid ends with the delivery of the last to New Haven, Connecticut. Photos range from stock-model pumpers and ladder trucks to custom-built one-offs like the huge rescue truck built for Syracuse, New York, a foam truck for oil refinery fires, and 70th Anniversary models built by Seagrave’s Canadian subsidiary. Photos of factory-fresh rigs are complemented by shots of fire engines in production and in action.
