A 1935
International/American LaFrance C-Model with a 500 GPM pump and
a 150 gallon water tank. Engine 1 was originally purchased by
the Ensign-Bickford Company for their fire brigade. The Simsbury
Fire District acquired Engine 1 when the Simsbury Volunteer Fire
Company assumed responsibility for the town's fire protection in
1944. Engine 1 was stationed at the Main House and answered it's
last alarm in 1975.
The apparatus was
restored in 1991 by Fire Company members, and although Engine 1 is
fully operational, it is primarily used as a show piece in
parades and at public events.
