| Owning
an old fire truck is not a requirement for membership in
SPAAMFAA, but for many, that's what led them to our
organization. Some people pick up an old fire truck
because they want to have an old toy to play with. For
others, it might have been a life long dream to have a
shiny red (or yellow) fire truck to call their own. And there are
those who fought fires with an old pumper as a
firefighter and just didn't want to see their friend go to the scrap
pile.
Regardless
of the reason for owning a fire truck, our members
receive great satisfaction in owning a piece of firefighting
history. We'll take any opportunity to show off our
classic fire engine. Sometimes it's in a parade or at a
fire muster, other times it's a school function or a
company picnic. Just like our friends who own classic
cars, we spend hours scrubbing and polishing our trucks
to make them shine like new. But there's one thing we
can do that our hot rod buddies can't...we can pump
water and get everything wet!.
