Bringing Back a Piece of Tasmania’s Firefighting History
Hi everyone,
I’m fundraising to purchase and restore a 1980 International ACCO fire truck that once proudly served the George Town community in Tasmania. This truck helped protect local families for decades, and now I want to give it a second life.
Where the funds will go
Purchase of the truck
Safe transportation to its new home
If the truck ends up costing less than expected, any remaining funds will go straight into paint, repairs, and restoration.
What the truck will be used for
Once restored, the fire truck won’t just sit in storage — it will be out in the community!
Party & event hire – starting from just $50 an hour
Affordable packages for birthdays, school events, and community days
Shows & displays to preserve and share this piece of Tasmanian firefighting history
About me
I’m a Junior with the Tasmanian Fire Service and run Tasmanian Emergency Media. I already collect and preserve TFS history (helmets, badges, uniforms, and more) — and this truck will become the centrepiece of the collection.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring this historic fire truck back to life — and back into the community. Thank you for your support! ❤️
