- The Bessemer Hall of History, one of our members, paid the cost to have the SVFAA get their 1957 Seagrave pumper on the road again. The late John Vines, fire buff & Hall of History member, got this engine returned to Bessemer.

- In addition to body work the motor required some tinkering as did the brakes and electrical system. Still some things to do but the old Seagave looks good and has been to several events including a run to the Hall of Hisory Folk Fair in 2018.
