Engine One Joins the Larchmont Historical Society!

Larchmont’s four volunteer fire companies have donated their antique fire engine along with much of their memorabilia to the Larchmont Historical Society, which voted on Tuesday, December 11 to accept the gift. In addition, the LHS accepted a donation in memory of Jacob Orans that will provide as much as $75K for the restoration and maintenance of the engine. They anticipate receiving a separate $35K donation from the fire companies for the same purpose.
