(Bismarck, ND) — Bismarck has bought a piece of its firefighting history, a nearly 100 year old fire truck. The truck, a 1926 Seagrave fire engine, was the second ever owned by the city. It joined the fleet in 1926 and was retired after four decades of service in the 1960s before being sold at a city surplus auction in 1988. The fire trucks owners Jan and Jim Beck recently agreed to sell the truck back to the city for 25-thousand dollars. The city will pay for the vintage vehicle from the Special Commission Projects line item in the general fund, dedicated to unplanned projects.
