Visitors to the Historical Society of Palm Desert will notice a bright-red firetruck parked in the driveway. The historical society's building was once Palm Desert's very-first firehouse and is listed as Palm Desert's very-first historical landmark (pictures provided).

There is a bronze plaque monumented in front of the building that reads:

FIRST FIREHOUSE SITE
DONATED BY
CLIFFORD HENDERSON
FOUNDER OF PALM DESERT
1951

This fire truck is no longer in service and remains as a historical piece for the historical society. I found out online that the fire truck was built in 1973.
