Did Chelsea buy the new Tower and Engine 2 at the same time? Both are really sharp looking and def much needed. I'd like to see more pics of the new Tower 1.

I agree that replacements were long overdue, and if there was ever a test of Pierce's durability, they'll give it one in Chelsea, between the amount they work and the miserable roads it'll be interesting to see how she holds up.

Since I was on Stoughton before getting on DCFD I got to see this antique a bunch of times. I just asked the Stoughton fire history expert FF Donny Chipman about it for you. The current owner is the Town of Stoughton Historical Society. It is a 1928 Maxim that served the Town of Stoughton from 1928 until 1956. It was involved in a roll over accident in 1933 which ejected all 3 fireman riding it. I never really got a close up of it because the parade day driver's were always Fire Dept UNFRIENDLY Selectmen. The full restoration was done by a Brockton FF named Howie Briggs, then sold to Brockton FF Billy Donovan, before being returned home to Stoughton.

I didn't know either of the Jakes, but I wish more people had thier interests and abilities when it comes to restoring and taking care of our fire service history.
