Monrovia’s Vintage Seagrave Will Be in Monrovia Day Parade
he Monrovia Firefighters Association is working diligently to save the vintage 1917 Seagrave Fire Engine that served the city 100 years ago. The engine, a triple with water pumping and chemical firefighting capability as well are being able to carry the necessary ladders and other equipment, still needs a little help even though it is scheduled to drive under its own power in the Monrovia Day Parade. For the last several years, many individuals have donated time and
money to help the association bring the engine back. The final push is underway and the association needs help. The association has set up a Go Fund Me account. The engine desperately needs a clutch to allow it to make its way safely along the parade route.
