The Fireman's Herald
See what is possibly the country's first motorized fire vehicle.
The Radnor Fire Company claims to have had the first motorized fire engine in the United States (and maybe the world). Pictured here is that engine, a Knox Hose and Chemical Engine manufactured in 1906. It was nicknamed the "Fireman's Herald."
You can read about this engine, as well as the Radnor Fire Company's many other historical pieces of equipment, on the company's Web site.
