| "Cosmo" (Cosmopolitan) |
1927 American LaFrance
The beloved "Cosmo" was the first motorized pumper purchased by Ligonier. It was eventually sold but was bought back as part of the company's celebration of Ligonier's Bicentennial in 1959. It was subsequently restored and has been a popular feature at parades and civic gatherings ever since. This piece took first place in the State Fire Convention in 1994, 1995, 1996!
