Fremont Fire Engines Attract Amateur Collectors In City
Fremont residents like Councilman Leon Mezzetti and others have begun buying old fire engines for a firefighting museum and parade use. Mezzetti's 1944 Pirsch pumper, purchased for 1530 dollars, is kept in working condition and may tour local events. Oakland fighter Lt. Clancy Crum verifies the truck’s history and condition, while others such as Jim Kress of Fremont Marine Inc. acquire engines for display and loan to communities. The hobby blends nostalgia with community service as owners imagine rides for residents and kids at heart.
