The 1931 Seagrave Fire Engine 8-3-19

On May 18, 1931, the City of Hillsdale Fire Department moved to City Hall from its garage behind what is now Gelzer’s Hardware. That same year a Seagrave 750 gpm (gallons per minute) pumper was purchased. A work of art as well as a functional public safety vehicle, it sported the Seagrave logo on the lower area of the front hood and gold leaf decoration across the exterior. The Seagrave served Hillsdale well and was brought out of retirement to serve again after restoration on June 13, 1976.

We would appreciate your support for bringing the 1931 Seagrave home to Hillsdale. Please send donations to Hillsdale County Historical Society  P.O. Box 306  Hillsdale, MI 49242

Thank you.
