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