Fire Department: Motorized Millburn Fire Truck and Millburn FiremenEntry/Object ID
2006.002.001Description
Subject is an early motorized fire truck with firemen on it. Pencil noted on back says "Millburn NJ." When the hood of the truck was digitally distorted and stretched, it more clearly reveals the words "Fire Dept No 1" on the hood. The words above that are less clear, but do seem to say "Millburn N.J." The lower right corner has a bicycle with a front tire that seems to be decorated for a parade. Records indicate that the first motorized fire truck was purchased for the Millburn Fire Department in 1912. The truck and the uniforms seem to point to some time period between then and 1930.
