Among the highlights will be a 1922 Ford Model TT American LaFrance fire truck owned by the Farmland, Ind. fire department and an early 1900s horse drawn hose cart pulled by two Belgian draft horses.
A flea market will be held in the parking lot with fire related items for sale.
The park’s exhibit buildings and structures will be available to explore.
The annual event, hosted by the Miami Valley Antique Fire Apparatus Assoc., was held at Veteran’s Park in Germantown for 23 years. It changed locations last year due to expansion of the Germantown Fire Department into the park, limiting space for larger trucks.
