Restored 1919 Pumper Returns to CA Fire Dept.

Sept. 08--The Modesto Fire Department's first motorized pumper truck, a 1919 Seagrave, is back home and will be the showpiece of a historical display being assembled for the MFD's original station on 11th Street. The truck was brought to Station 1 on Thursday, after long-retired Modesto Junior College counselor Bill Spidell spent 12 years or more restoring it.
