1927 American LaFrance 1000 g.p.m. Pumper
Purchased by the Borough of Wildwood Crest in 1927 and operated as
a front-line
pumper until 1962. Repainted and preserved by the
fire company until 2000 when it was completely refurbished to it's
original condition.
In 2004, a new museum bay was added to the front
of the firehouse to serve as a permanent home and display for Old Betsy.
