Firemen’s
Association’s 1924 Ahrens Fox
N-S-4 Pumper
Originally
purchased in 1924 by the city of Wilmington, DE Fire Department. This piston
type pumper truck (reg # 1618 ) was in active service with the Wilmington Fire
Department until sometime in the mid 1950's when it was briefly transferred
to the water department for storm drain cleaning. After taken from service in
the late 1960's the truck was then purchased by the Southwick Fireman's
Association to be a parade unit. Since it's
purchase, we have done extensive work to restore it. The Fox pictured
above is a similar unit. Some more work is still needed to complete the
restoration process. To date, this truck runs and pumps well and can be seen
at numerous parades in southwestern MA and northwestern CT areas. We are also
members of the Ahrens Fox Owners Association based in Webster Groves, Mo. If

you have questions about our Fox please contact the Southwick
Fireman's Association.
