The Other Women in My Uncle's Life

 

My Uncle Will used to be a Fire Chief. He collects fire memorabilias. He also started collecting old fire trucks. I call them the other women in my uncles life.

This is Edna. she is a 1951 Bickle Seagraves Fire Truck built in Woodstock, Ont. She was the first Royal Canadian Air Force Engine Purchased after W.W l l. She was used for the RCAF Trenton from 1951 - 1962. She was then moved to Petawawa. During the years of 1962- 1984 she served as Petawawa's main pumper. She retired in 1984, she was used in community events until my uncle bought her for 0ne dollar. She still has her original engine, short cab and signature ladder mounting found on the RCAF vehicles. She can hit 30/mph and can shoot a fair stream if need be. I have ridden Edna a few times even from the train station it was fun.

This is Liz. She is a 1910 Ford truck. She lives in Gatineau, PQ
