In 1976, we found that the Hale truck we had sold to Hale Fire Pump Company in 1958 was still in the area and was for sale. We purchased it for $800 with the hope of someday restoring it to its original condition. The truck was in many pieces and had to be towed to the firehouse. We established funding for the Hale from special services we do from time to time such as washing down roads for contractors, testing pipes, pumping cellars, or putting up banners. We got serious about the restoration project in 1997 and we set a goal for ourselves to be finished in time for our centennial in 1999. Paul Jueros of Pennsburg rebuilt the engine. Ott’s Auto Refinishing in Salfordville had done most of the metal body work and painting. The members of the fire company have spent more than 3,000 man-hours refinishing and assembling the other parts including replacing most of the wood on the vehicle because the original wood had rotted away. We have totally restored our 1926 pumper and it is on display for everyone to see. Some of our restoration activity is shown in the pictures below.  Restoration completed June 1999
