RVC Ladder 447 Relocation [6-2-19]

On the morning of Sunday, June 2nd, 2019 members of Rockville Centre Eureka Hook, Ladder and Bucket Company No. 1 along with Pete’s Towing [of Westbury] towed the former Ladder 447 [a 1958 American LaFrance tiller] from the Brookhaven Volunteer Firefighter’s Museum in Ridge to the Nassau County Firefighter’s Museum in Garden City. At its new home the rig will be restored and eventually displayed. The tiller had been stored away in Suffolk County since the mid-1980s and was last started around the turn of the century. The best of luck to the company and museum with the restoration of this apparatus.
