This 1917 American La France fire truck, which is undergoing a restoration, will be on display at the “Thunder on the River” car show on Saturday.
A piece of firefighting history will be on display at Columbia’s “Thunder on the River” car show on Saturday, when a 1917 American La France fire truck makes an appearance in the heart of the downtown.
The antique truck will be stationed in the 400 block of Locust Street, across from Columbia Pizza.
Fire company members, who are working to restore and preserve the truck, will accept donations to help fund the ongoing restoration.
Donations of Columbia fire company memorabilia from former departments, such as photographs, equipment, uniforms, or other artifacts, are also being accepted and can be dropped off at the display for preservation.
