This was, in fact, Waverly's first mechanized fire truck, an "American LaFrance Fire Combination, Pumping, Chemical and Hose Car," purchased in May 1921, for $10,250; delivery of the truck was made in October. The marching band led a parade through town; following behind the new truck, which carried the mayor, council members and firemen, was the old fire equipment that was to be discarded. A demonstration of the new truck's pumping power was held on the west bank of the river.
