After sitting out of commission for years, a piece of Wasaga Beach's firefighting history has roared back to life.
The town proudly unveiled its fully restored 1947 Seagrave fire truck, a cherished vehicle that once served the local fire department and has long held a place in the hearts of residents.
Town council approved the idea last November, bringing the restoration project to life. The result is nothing short of awesome; a gleaming red, vintage fire engine that now looks just as impressive as it did decades ago.
The fully decked out truck has a new engine, transmission, and front tires.
'Over the past several months, countless hours of hard work, passion, and teamwork went into bringing this classic engine back to life,' shared the town on social media.
The 1947 Seagrave, Wasaga Beach's first fire truck, has experienced a lot over the years and now, it will continue to endure new experiences and places.
