Welland's historic Central Fire Station held an Open House this weekend to show off an important part of Niagara's past.
On display Saturday morning was an old 1932 Ford Model BB Fire Truck, used by Port Robinson's Fire Department until it was taken out of commission in 1957.
David Thomson, Artifact Chair of Central Station Education, says the idea of keeping the truck here came about after being told the truck was in need of a permanent home.
Upon arriving at the old fire hall on the corner of Division and Hellems Street in Welland, the process of restoring the truck to its former glory has been a labour of love for everyone at the station.
The truck should be ready in a week or two with plans to use it for many events - including Welland's upcoming Rose Parade in June.
