In 2004 with the help of Meridian Collision, Graham Fire & Rescue restored the engine, pump
and body of Engine One. Graham Fire & Rescue designed a special entry in their new headquarter fire
station to allow the public to view the antique fire engine
anytime they
visit the station. The District uses the fire prevention/public education vehicle and parades and public
events. In February 2007, Graham Fire & Rescue was invited to display the recently finished Graham
Engine One in the Northwest's first antique fire engine show at the Puyallup Fairgrounds.
