Check out this 1925 American LaFrance fire engine – a true legend of its time. 💯 At a century old, this chain-driven beauty could pump 750 gallons per minute, carried its own chemical tank, and featured a large hose bed to battle the toughest blazes.
Engines like this paved the way for the modern rigs we see today. A rolling reminder of craftsmanship, innovation, and dedication to protecting communities.
✨ Featured here in an illustration by Jonathan Beistline Illustrations, showcasing our 100-year-old engine in front of the iconic Rialto Theater in downtown Loveland.
🚒 The engine is fully restored and maintained by Loveland Fire Exhibit Inc. and proudly housed at Fire Station 1 on 5th Street.
