THE NEWARK SHOPS

Welcome to The Newark Shops!

Each week we will take a look at one of the rigs that has served with the Newark Fire
Department over the years, starting with the earliest rigs. The known service record
of the rig will be shown in addition to any photos that are currently available.

Please note that assigning apparatus with Shops Register Numbers did not commence until 1926, and
any rigs that were in service with the NFD at that point were numbered. However, rigs that served and
had been discarded prior to 1926, had no formal Shops Registration. In order to have a point of refer-
ence, those rigs featured here will carry a letter registration.
