This was not the first LaFrance Pumper in Fort Myers.
After two devastating fires in 1914, the city voted to purchase their first motor driven fire engine.
The new American LaFrance engine arrived on April 6, 1915. It cost $9,500 and was equipped with a 750 gallon per minute pumper, 1200 feet of hose and 42 feet of ladder. It had a 105 horsepower 6 cylinder engine that could travel 45 miles per hour.
It is unclear where that 1915 LaFrance went to or where this 1926 LaFrance came from.
