The Seaside Park Fire Department is proud to announce the recent acquisition of a true piece of Seaside Park—and American—history.
In the spring of 1984, our 1955 Oren fire truck, originally built for Seaside Park, was sold after faithfully serving the borough for 29 years. This historic apparatus holds an incredible legacy, and our Oren Committee has been spending time with some of our 50+ year members, gathering firsthand stories of its service. From battling multiple local fires—including two significant boardwalk fires—to responding to major incidents across the state, this truck played a vital role in protecting our community. It was especially active during the 1970s, assisting with numerous forest fires.
Today, we are excited to begin the journey of restoring this remarkable piece of history.
We are seeking donations from generous members of our community who would like to help support this restoration project. Every contribution, big or small, will help bring this truck back to its former glory.
We encourage everyone to follow along with the restoration process. We’ll be sharing updates and photos on our Facebook and Instagram pages so you can be part of the journey.
Thank you in advance for your support—we look forward to proudly showcasing this piece of our history at future community events and parades.
