#140 - Livermore's First Motorized Fire Truck Livermore Heritage Guild This 1919 Ford Model-T Chemical Fire Truck was the very first motorized fire truck owned and operated by the City of Livermore. The truck has been recently restored by volunteers from the Livermore Heritage Guild. It has a 50 gallon chemically pressurized water tank so it can operate without being hooked to a fire hydrant. Garry Bausch is the driver and Christine Thompson is his co-pilot. Part of our history right here for us to see!	#141 - 1920 Seagrave Fire Truck Livermore Heritage Guild More of Livermore's past, this beauty is a 1920 Seagrave Fire Truck and is not yet completely restored, but obviously well on its way. This was the first commercially made fire truck ever purchased by the City of Livermore. It was purchased in 1920 for $10,750 and was used from 1920 to about 1960. It was acquired by the Livermore Heritage Guild in 1980 and restoration began in September 2008. The truck has a 6 cylinder, 1,012 cubic inch, 110 horsepower engine which drives a 800 gallon per minute water pump. Painting was donated by Tri-Valley Auto Body and transportation today is provided by Allen's Automotive Towing. Riding on the truck are many of the volunteers who are restoring it. The truck is stored at the Lincoln Highway Garage at North "L" St. and Portola Ave.
