- Description
Wanganui Fire Brigade's Merryweather fire engine on blocks, probably in Chavannes Garage, taken in, or around 1921, by Frank J Denton.
Information from a library client states: Chavannes Garage was the business that imported and supplied the vehicle to the brigade in December 1910. When new, the vehicle had a very large hose reel attached to the rear, which was later removed and the rear lockers replaced it. A report in January 1926 stated that the machine was useless and unreliable. It was sold a short time later for £60.
