Molalla's Early Fire Engine

This Molalla Volunteer Fire Department crew just purchased their new truck from an outfit in Portland and drove it back to Molalla where it made its new home. Notice the grandstands in the background of the old Molalla Buckeroo Arena, since torn down. The fire department took over the Buckeroo back then inorder to raise money for the department.
