Circleville Firetruck Warehouse

[Newburgher 241]

Has anyone heard, or does anyone know when the open house is going to be held at the warehouse in Circleville? If I remember, it was held this time of year the past few years.

Saturday August 4. Moved out of June 'cause there are usually too many other things going on.

[Newburgher 241]

Thanks! I have it added to my calender now

That date above is correct. Live 5 minutes away from there and went by last weekend and saw the sign.

Entry fee for show competition is $20 per truck.

[grumpyff 1,159]

Thank you!

[AndyC3J 190]

No problem!

Any other department (or private owner) that wants to bring a 1987 or older rig is welcome to do so. Don't let the number of other rigs on site discourage you...the Leider collection is not eligible for the show awards unless he chooses to enter a piece or two.

[JBE 328]

I'll be there. Just look for the guy in the Renegades jersey with 51 on the back.

For those going up, if you could please snap a photo of my old rig - 1979 Seagrave tractor-drawn aerial (ex Ridgefield Park NJ and Cliffside Park NJ, now black over red). Andy bought it a few months ago and I assume it will be on display up there. Thank you in advance!

I heard someone will be selling code 3's there.

[fireguy30 13]

is there a cost to get in just to see the stuff

[38ff 250]

The past few years it was a donation to get inside for a tour.

[JBE 328]

It still is. I'll scope out the tiller for you and hopefully, since it's a new arrival, per se, it will be outside.

[AndyC3J 190]

Optional donation to get in the building. Small fee for food, refreshments, raffle tix, etc.

The Ridgefield/Cliffside tiller is supposed to be there, although it's being stored at his other location in the O.C. due to lack of space here.

[JBE 328]

Nice to see some of the folks on this board making appearances. Did not see the Cliffside Park Tiller. Was very nice to see Carmel's old 12-2-2.

My daughter and I got to sit in the tiller seat of Harry Howard (PCFD) Seagrave Tiller. I learned to tiller that rig back in 1982/3. Always neat to see those old rigs. Too bad so many are in "storage" and not being made "display ready".

Nice to see Larchmont's Engine 1 looking like it just came from the factory (but it was 90 years ago or so).

[grumpyff 1,159]

So many trucks, so little time and room. I left early to get to Ball Pond's wet down. Larchmont's egine did look great

Left at 11ish to go to Ball Ponds wetdown as well didnt see it - I called a friend later in the day who stayed the whole time he said he didnt see it thats the rig myself and many others wanted to see

[grumpyff 1,159]

Had a good time, but it felt like there was too many trucks to look at. Inside the warehouse was extremely tight, making for hard photo taking.

A teaser, and then I am off to bed(busy day today, and again tomorrow) I will post more on Monday.

Larchmont's 1922 American Lafrance

How tight was it? Here is Pleasantville's old E-91 a 1969 American LaFrance
