From The Vault: Three-Wheel Apparatus! (1911)

November 9, 2023 in History

#ThrowbackThursday In 1911, the West Haven Fire Department purchased four pieces of motorized apparatus from the Knox Automobile Company of Springfield MA. Three of these were Chemical Combination Engines but the fourth was a three-wheel tractor that was used to pull West Haven Hook & Ladder’s ladder wagon. Pictured here is Chief Charles Cameron (on right) pulling out of the second Avenue Station, and a nice shot of the apparatus from the side.
