Another of Martin Sernstinger's delightful mid-1950s photographs of the equipment used by the Kalamazoo Fire Department. This is a wonderful photograph of what was already an old truck, though the print was a bit battered. Not sure where it was taken, but it probably goes with the pumper-in-action photo I posted a few weeks back. Approximately 1955; Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Another Martin Sernstinger photograph from the mid-1950s.... An absolutely glorious photograph of Kalamazoo Fire Department's engine 12, parked in front of what appears to be old Station 5. Kalamazoo's firefighters used to work from some really delightful buildings.

Explored! #369 on Friday, February 1, 2008. Thanks! Kalamazoo Fire Department's Engine 9. It's parked in front of the old North Burdick Station , called Fours by the firefighters. 1955 or thereabouts. While Dad was with the department, they replaced a substantial number of trucks with these larger, more impressive Seagrave units. I suspect that's what Martin Sernstinger was actually documenting with many of these photographs.

Some of the fire engine photographs in my father's collection were of trucks which were old when Martin Sernstinger caught them on film in the mid-1950s. This one was clearly taken during a training exercise at the Kalamazoo County Fairgrounds.
