Below is the 1951 Seagrave Pumper formerly owned by the North Little Rock F.D. as it stood on
January 20, 2002. The tank sitting behind the pumper was obviously used when the pumper was
used by the Vilonia East F.D.
In a complete contrast, Just across U.S. 64 in a well covered shed sits the 1955 Seagrave formerly
of NLRFD. It is taken to vintage vehicle shows and enjoys a "good life" of retirement.
