FUNDRAISER TO RESTORE WAYNE TOWNSHIP PUMPER #1

The original Wayne Township Pumper #1 aka 1941 American LaFrance was purchased in 1941 and was the original fire engine to respond out of Waynedale (what is now Southwest Station #1). The ‘41 still has some of the Wayne Township markings on it. According to records the American LaFrance was replaced in 1967. From there no one is sure of all its history/travels or fire runs this truck has made but we do know it made it to Arkansas.

On Saturday, May 15^th, the Southwest Firefighters Association will be hosting a Hog Roast to raise funds to continue restoring the 1941 American LaFrance pumper.

Come out and enjoy the fun, food and festivities at the Southwest Fire District Station #1 (Base 50) – 7001 Old Trail Road in Waynedale. They will be serving roasted hog, BBQ or sauerkraut, baked beans, potato salad, drink and dessert.

The ‘41 LaFrance will be on-site for viewing.

Cost is $8 for adult and carryouts. Kids 10 & under free.
