BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - The city of Bismarck is bringing a piece of its history back home.

One of the city’s former fire trucks from 1926 is now in its possession.

The Seagrave served as a transitional apparatus between horse-drawn fire and motorized trucks.

Back then, it cost a little over $26,000 to purchase.

The city just paid $25,000 to get it back after the vehicle had been sold at a city surplus auction decades ago.

“This could have ended up in a private collection somewhere outside North Dakota, and we never would have seen it again. But now, for it to come back and be a piece of treasured history for the city of Bismarck and the staff that’s here today, I just don’t think you can read a story like that,” said Jason Tomanek, the Bismarck City administrator.
