Want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money to benefit WILMOT HERITAGE FIRE BRIGADES, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. We are aiming for $50,000.00 to bring it home and insure it is safety checked and road worthy.
This fire truck was brand new in 1948 and was the New Hamburg station #1 pumper when it was delivered to the station. It is a 1948 FORD F155 Bickle Seagrave and was in service until 1978 when it was sold.
This firetruck has traveled to Alberta where it has been lovingly cared for and stored in a dry museum setting by a private collector. Sadly the collector has died and his family contacted us to see if we would be interested in getting it back to Wilmot Township.
Our museum is a small not for profit registered charitable organization that runs on a shoe string budget. We are not part of any government and nor are we affiliated with any level of government.
Our museum was started 30 years ago by a handful of retired firefighters and we are still to this day run by 100% volunteer help and our fundraising programs.
A once in a lifetime chance for this fire truck to come back to Wilmot Township where it began its service.
Your assistance is very much appreciated in order for us to accomplish this task.
