Update to Cab Driver Rescue Story
The Alameda Sun received additional information on last week’s story regarding an AFD water rescue team’s efforts to rescue a local cab driver who had driven off the road.
The Jan. 7, 1920, fire that destroyed buildings on Park Street and Webb and Lincoln avenues prompted the Alameda Fire Department (AFD) to purchase not one, but two Seagrave Triple Combination Pumpers.
Alameda Fire Department’s (AFD) Seagrave Model 760 pumper is approaching an important milestone. Dec. 20 marks the 100th anniversary of AFD placing the apparatus in service as Engine No. 2.
