What if you had a fire museum with no firetrucks to exhibit?
That's what North Charleston hopes to avoid by buying its own collection of antique firetrucks.
The city has purchased a 1956 American LaFrance fire engine from Napoleon, Ohio, for $7,000.
The city will spend another $2,500 to bring the truck to North Charleston in January.

Charleston is renowned for its many points of attractions for visitors. Today's column is going to expose the best-kept secret. It is one of the finest exhibitions in our time: the Fire Museum.
Located in North Charleston's Centre Pointe area, the museum not only gives a perspective of the history of municipal firefighting, but an educational process for our youthful citizens is beautifully woven in. This is one of the finest, if not the finest, firetruck museums in the country.

It could be
considered the Lowcountry's nicest
garage. Tucked inside the new fire
museum in North Charleston are all kinds
of firefighting exhibits, including two
that actually belch big puffs of smoke.
But at its core, this building was
designed to provide shelter and display
space for 18 fire trucks built between
1857 and 1969.
