"The first motorized truck the Old Town
Fire Department ever used will soon take up residence in a structure

"Old Town's 1917 Garford fire truck, the oldest one still around in New England, will soon be housed in a replica of the old fire station thanks to a local fundraising effort and construction work by a group of University of Maine students."
A recent Bangor Daily News article reported on this firefighting heritage preservation initiative.
