The truck had a 1,000 gallon a minute pump (a rarity in firefighting at that time), a hose bed and 40 gallon chemical tank. | + | The second commercially built fire engine (type 12 car, type 45 Triple Combination) to serve South Haven was put into service in March, 1923. It was built at a cost of $10,000 by the American LaFrance Fire Engine Company, Inc. of Elmira, N.Y. Its arrival via railroad generated a lot of excitement in the community.

- | Water from the fire pump was used to cool the engine when the trucvk sat stationary at a fire. After the water cooled the engine it was sent into the exhause system where it created large amounts of steam. This is where we believe the nicnkname "Old Smokey" originated. | + | Water from the fire pump was used to cool the engine when the truck sat stationary at a fire.

- | In 1932 the truck was damaged in an accident. It was repaired and remained in service through the late 1950s. The truck was believed to have been junked for scrap. Unbeknownst to the firemen it had been purchased by a Saugtauck, Mich. businessman who used it for parades and giving children rides. In October, 1997 "Old Smokey" was reunited with the department when it was donated back to the community. | + | In 1932 the truck was damaged in an accident.
