Over the years they have changed quite a bit. Fire trucks started out as hand drawn carts that were used for many years.  Eventually fire fighting equipment was mounted on a chassis and the fire truck, or fire engine, was born. Through the years the quality of the equipment has gotten better. The capacity of the engines became such that more men and equipment could be rushed to fires in a shorter amount of time than in the past. On top of this, water was able to be taken along with the truck to help fight fires. Because firetrucks take a lot of punishment in their daily duties, their useful service life is what a lot of fire departments observe.</p>

<p>Big city, and county Fire departments, typically purchase new equipment every one to six years, or roughly 100,000 miles, which ever comes first. Most of the time they have a fairly good budget that allows this turnover of equipment.<span id="more-71"></span></p>

There is one such item that appeals to both children and adults alike. That item is a well used fire truck. They are big and red and practically yell"I'm here to help".

It was finally decided that the nonprofit organization would purchase either a hand drawn fire truck or a horse drawn fire truck. This decision was reached after much debate.The reason for this was both cost and of the minimal upkeep requirements. The nonprofit finally decided upon a horse drawn fire engine. That decision now dictated committee members finding manufacturers of this type of horse drawn antique fire trucks. The name that kept coming up was Seagrave fire engines. Other company names were mentioned; however Seagrave was the manufacturer that the nonprofit wanted to go with.</p>
<p>Then came the daunting task of trying to locate  used fire trucks for sale. At one point a classified ad was placed in two local newspapers. The ad essentially asked if anyone was willing to sell a horse drawn fire engine if they had one. Also everybody involved with the organization went on the Internet to see if they could locate used fire trucks in this fashion. Eventually they found a used fire truck for sale. It was found in the state of Ohio and it was in very good condition. The only problem was that it had to be transported to the state of Arizona. This turned out to be okay because of some of the arrangements the organization had with a nationwide moving company.</p>
