Administrative Recommendation:
City Council to authorize the surplus and sale of a 1931 Model "A" Fire Engine with proceeds to be used
for the refurbishment of Auburn's 1938 Pirsch Fire Engine.
Background Summary:
The 1931 Model "A" fire truck was originally purchased by the Port Orchard Fire Department. When
World War II broke out, the vehicle was diverted for use at the nearby Navy base and outfitted with a
small portable pump. The truck was surplused after the war and subsequently purchased by the Old
Soldier's Home in Orting. After many years of neglect, the vehicle was sold to the Auburn Volunteer
Firefighters Association for $1. Auburn firefighters restored the vehicle to its original condition and it has
been used in parades, funerals and public relation events. Ownership was signed over to the City in the
seventies.
Auburn recently re-acquired its first original fire truck, a 1938 Pirsch Fire Engine, and would like to
refurbish it to its original condition for public relations events
