Saving a Retired Scituate, MA, Fire Engine

"Sitting in Bob Quinlan's driveway on Old Oaken Bucket Road in Scituate is a piece of history: a 1924 White Motor Company firetruck, one of the fire department's three original motorized trucks.

"Quinlan, along with three other retired Scituate firefighters, recently bought the truck and are now looking to restore a piece of their department's history. It'’s a little out of place among the high-end sedans and commuter cars that are usually zipping down the street, but the group is happy to have the truck back in town after a circuitous route through Central Massachusetts and across state lines, luckily avoiding the grim fate of a junkyard."

A recent article in The Patriot Ledger reported on the efforts to preserve this retired Scituate, MA, fire engine.
