LOCAL ANTIQUE FIRE APPARATUS CLUB TO HOLD 5th ANNUAL SHOW AT STOCKBRIDGE
TRAIN STATION.
STOCKBRIDGE, MA – The Berkshire Chapter of The Society for the
Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America (SPAAMFAA) is privileged to invite the public to their 5th Annual Fire Apparatus Show at the historic train station in Stockbridge on October 7, 2007 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Former Senator Jack Fitzpatrick, owner of the train station is donating
the facility to the chapter. The train station has been home of the show
since its inception in 2003, even in 2005 when flooding forced the
cancellation of the show, some die hard members who didn’t get the word still showed up to enjoy this timeless event. The Berkshire Scenic
Railroad also makes two stops at the train station during the show
bringing a large crowd and adding to the historic significance of this
event that is attended by young and old alike.
The members of the Berkshire Chapter of SPAAMFAA consists primarily of local volunteer and paid firefighters of various ages who find the history of the mechanical war horses of the fire service fascinating. Many of the over sixty members own their own retired fire engines or maintain fire department owned antiques that have been seen at numerous area parades. Many of the apparatus that will appear in the show have served locally in the towns of Lee, Stockbridge, Great Barrington, New Marlborough and Lenox while others come from far away parts of New England and New York.
The chapter members have added some special show features including
renowned Boston Fire Photographer William Noonan, author of Flames & Faces and Wooden Sticks & Iron Men, who will be presenting a slide show of his work starting at 1:00 PM. A special guest appearance by the
ladies from Americas Female Firefighters Calendar has also been
arranged. There will be a wide variety food, t-Shirts and 50/50 raffle
tickets available for purchase.
This year’s featured apparatus is Lenox’s 1910 American LaFrance Type 5 Pumper. The Lenox rig is unique as it carries the serial number 1. The members of Lenox Fire Company have worked long and hard to bring number 1 back to its glory. The American LaFrance Company has gone through many changes over the decades, but this year is celebrating its 175th anniversary in their new Summerville, South Carolina headquarters.
