Wassaic's Seagrave Returns

[markmets415 524]

It finally made it back home a few weeks ago and was used to carry Brother Gustave Deister to his final resting place last week, she's a bit rough looking at this point but should be looking pretty sharp this summer, As soon as I can get up and get some more shots of some of the details of "Old Bets" I will.

The fire company chose not to continue with the FWD and sold it to 4 of our members for a $1.00, sadly that was OUR first new piece of equipment and should have been done prior to the Seagraves but because we got a $30,000 grant for the Seagraves that project was moved forward and we just don't have the $$$ nor resources to do both, the members that have it will surely make sure it will get done though.

as long as it didnt get trashed hope they are able to make it great good luck with the seagrave from the pictures just looks like it needs a fresh coat of paint and alittle tlc

Great photos, Hope to see it after its restoration. Hopefully the FWD will get a shot at a future restoration.

Could we have it back.........Pleeeeeaaaaassseeee?

There's always a dollar and a dream.

On a lighter note, I heard many a story about "The Seagrave" from the older guys when I was younger.
