    HISTORY
    Lyme Fire Company purchased the truck as military surplus in 1954 and served Lyme until late 1971. The company set aside $20,000 in 1981 for the restoration, but work on the truck did not begin until 1985. The first parade after restoration was the 1991 Lyme Independence Day Parade. Restoration is an ongoing labor of love. While in service at Lyme, the truck was fitted with a 500-gallon tank, windshield, and booster brakes. Those items were removed when restoration was started.
