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.
