In 2004, the Edmonds Fire Department will celebrate its 100th birthday!

As part of the birthday celebration and to help the City and Department capture a working piece of its firefighting history, the non-profit Edmonds Fire Safety Foundation's Centennial Committee raised funds to bring home the refurbished 1938 Ford Fire Engine No. 1.

The engine was in service from 1938 to the 1970s. For several of the early years, it was the only fire engine with a water tank between Everett and Seattle. The engine was beautifully restored by a retired Edmonds Firefighter. The Committee raised over $10,000 to purchase the antique icon, which is displayed at Station 17 in downtown Edmonds for the entire community to enjoy. Look for the engine at many community events.
