Engine 4, a 1926 Seagrave, is a cherished piece of Ridgely Volunteer Fire Department’s history, representing a time when firefighting was as much about community spirit as it was about bravery. Shipped by rail car from Philadelphia and purchased for $6,500, Engine 4 was officially housed in November 1926, marking a significant milestone for the department. Now retired and used in parades, this beautifully preserved apparatus stands as a proud symbol of RVFD’s rich heritage and enduring commitment to service. It continues to inspire pride, reflecting the dedication and tradition that have shaped the department for nearly a century.
