He started out as an automobile repair garage at first and the fire trucks came later keeping the name. Still worked on locals cars into the 1950's when they decided to get rid of it and focus on fire trucks.
My BIGGEST pet peeve? Hearing it referred to as <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/machinegun.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

LOL Thats funny, one of MY big pet peeves is hearing people refer to Seagrave as "Seagraves", even if they are referring to it in the singular, I.E. "The Ladder Truck was built by Seagraves." Drives me nuts when I see it on eBay.
Equally as annoying is when someone refers to a CUMMINS engine as a "Cummings."
