In The Line of Fire 1910 - 1920

The Kelowna Volunteer Fire Brigade competed in many sport events...
it was a kind of “club” for the young men of the town.
In those days the firemen were, in many instances,
the town’s lacrosse, baseball and war canoe heroes too...
giving them a double measure of fame!

Another
automobile,
a 1911 Cadillac,
was purchased
by the city from
Magistrate
J. F. Burne.

It was rebuilt by
the Kelowna
Garage &
Machine Shop
and then
converted to
become
Fire Truck No. 2
in 1914.
