I took a few moments the other day to snap a few shots of my department's antique before it left for the St. Paddy's Day parade. This 1954 Mack B-75 750/300 was placed into service at Engine 1. It saw action at many engine companies in Wilmington as a front line and reserve piece through the 1970's and into the early 80's. It spent several years under a tarp at the fireboat station until 2000 when several members of the department worked to restore it for the career department's 80th anniversary in 2001. The engine is pretty much all original and is still owne by the department.
