Out front is this very old firetruck that has obviously seen better days. I wanted to learn how old it is, but there was no one around to ask.

It looks like that could be a very nice looking truck with some work. My name is Lonnie, but I answer to Thomas too.

EMT2340 Hatchling 2 posts Joined Jan 2007 More info | Jan 12, 2007 21:34 | #5 This truck is a 1952 Oren that formerly served with Wanaque New Jersey Fire Dept. It was known as "Engine 1" and was pictured on all the literature & brochures Oren Fire Apparatus sent out in 1952. They sold it when they got a newer truck and somehow it ended up here in my neck of the woods. It's a really neat old truck, but it doesn't look like anyone's planning to restore it. It just sits out there in front of Wheels Through Time on Highway 19/Soco Rd. Hope this info helps!
