1964 PETER PIRSCH PUMPER

Engine 44-3 was the last piece of fire apparatus Springfield Fire Company used that had a totally open cab.  Utilized as a water supply piece, the piece of equipment supplied the water for many historic fires in Springfield Township and surrounding communities.  Now a retired piece of apparatus, 44-3 is still used by the members of Company 44 for parades, drills and funerals.  Repowered with a Detroit Deisel Engine and refurbished in 1980, 44-3 will have a lasting memory in the minds of past, present and future members of Springfield Fire Company.  This unit features:
