1926 Bickle Fire Pumper: Celebrating a Century of Service.

Located on the 3rd Floor of City Hall in the Council Chambers. 

Custom manufactured for the Humberstone Village Fire Brigade, the slogan of the Woodstock ON Bickle Company 'Strictly Canadian, Built by Canadians' reflects Canadian innovation in technology and production of firefighting apparatus. Transferred to the Town of Port Colborne when it amalgamated with Humberstone, the Bickle was decommissioned and sold in 1958. 64 years would elapse before the Bickle was rediscovered by the Port Colborne Volunteer Firefighting Co. and repatriated to Station #2, where she remains proudly on display alongside other historical trucks and equipment.
