Antique Fire Fighting Equipment Display

The Old Dominion Historical Fire Society (ODHFS) will display antique firefighting equipment. Adults and children alike will marvel at the historic fire equipment assembled for this event! Our 2015 statewide "muster" will be the second consecutive year that our society has displayed antique equipment in Farmville. Antiques will come from across the Commonwealth to participate in this event. According to Gary Hoermen, Central Region director for ODHFS and the organizer for the event "Our muster in Farmville this year promises to be one of the largest displays of antique fire equipment in this part of Virginia. Our muster in Farmville last year brought out nearly 2 dozen antiques and we are expecting more units this year." Six of those units actually pumped water from the lake. Many of the motorized fire engines may actually pump water from the lake again this year. Members of ODHFS will be on hand to answer questions and provide the public with the opportunity to witness "first hand" these antiques and learn the role that such equipment has played in fire service history.
