Originally purchased in 1924 by the city of Wilmington, DE Fire Department.

Ahrens Fox Engine Company No. 8 Wilmington, DE

This piston type pumper truck (reg # 1618 ) was in active service with the Wilmington Fire Department until sometime in the mid 1950’s when it was briefly transferred to the water department for storm drain cleaning.

After taken from service in the late 1960’s the truck was then purchased by the Southwick Fireman’s Association to be a parade unit. Since it’s purchase, we have done extensive work to restore it. The Fox pictured above is a similar unit. Some more work is still needed to complete the restoration process.
