Gateway Fire Truck Club MeetingMay
13, 2006
On May 13, 2006, Greg Rhomberg and Antique Warehouse hosted the
Gateway Fire Truck Club monthly meeting. Many of the members
brought their own fire trucks for display. One company from
the St. Louis Fire Department and another from the Melville Fire
Department showed up and displayed their trucks as well. The
St. Louis 2004 Exposition displayed their
1948 American
LaFrance Aerial Ladder Fire Engine,
1926 Mack AC 700
Gallon Triple Combination Pumper Fire Truck and their Ahrens Fox
MX4 Fire Engine. Greg also showed his 1933 Chevrolet Fire
Truck with Boyer Body, which is being overhauled. Inside the
warehouse, a wide variety of activities was offered. Many
enjoyed a game of pinball, while others enjoyed browsing the
thousands of antiques on display. A country style lunch was
served, along with St. Louis favorite, Carl's Root Beer, straight
from the tap in chilled mugs. Below are a few images from the
days event.
