This wonderful piece of Hampton history - a 1920s REO Speedwagon Sanford Pumper - that provided fire protection in Hampton for many years, needs a permanent home. A team of HHS members and the Professional Firefighters of Hampton, Local 2664 are working to make that happen by adding onto the Seacoast Fire Museum. Adding the space for the Sanford Pumper onto the Fire Museum is doable, but we need help from folks who want to see this piece of Hampton history on display right here in our community! You can help by donating to our
Save Our Sanford (SOS) campaign.
Save Our Sanford Update
Our ongoing efforts to create a permanent home for Hampton's Sanford Pumper are well underway. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and the support of our donors and sponsors, we've made great progress on the building addition, as seen in the photos below. The next step is to get the roof on before the winter weather sets in and we're working diligently on that. If you're interested in being part of this effort, we're still selling bricks with the inscription of your choosing so that you can become a permanent part of this project to save and protect this important piece of Hampton history.
