Bigfork - The Steamer

 

Make/Model 1899 Waterous #102 Extra 1st Class

 

 

 


Engine American LaFrance #1413 (1916)

Pump

Waterous 1,100 GPM.


Responses

This engine was donated to Bigfork Fire Department by the Bovine family in 1999.  Originally it was horse drawn and was attended by a hose wagon carrying 1000 feet of hose.  The Waterous #102, Extra 1st Class is said to put out 1,100 GPM.  In 1916 the steamer was tractorized by American LaFrance, and didn’t retire until 1937.

 

We currently run the engine in our parades and special fund raisers.

 

Our hopes for this old steam engine is to have it fully restored some day. It takes
many man hours and plenty of money to have this accomplished. We will work at it a bit at a time.
