‘Pump Primers’ muster draws dozens of antique fire engines to Harrisburg

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Plenty of antique fire engines were in Harrisburg this weekend as part of the Pennsylvania Pump Primers annual muster. This took place Saturday morning at Riverfront Park. Antique fire engines from across Pennsylvania and spanning numerous makes took part in displays, drafting and pumping demonstrations, and more. Al Mick owns a 1966 truck and says itโ€™s important to preserve the apparatus โ€œso that people see what it was like before compared to what it is today. Itโ€™s all about history,โ€ he said. The muster draws an average of 100 pieces of apparatus. Some highlights include a 1926 Hahn, a defunct apparatus manufacturer from Berks County, that once served Hummelstown, as well as several American LaFrance pieces.
