Welcome to Cradle of Liberty Antique Fire Apparatus Association's Web Site.
We are the Penn-Jer-Del chapter of S.P.A.A.M.F.A.A.
(SOCIETY for the PRESERVATION & APPRECIATION of ANTIQUE MOTOR FIRE APPARATUS in AMERICA)
The association was formed in January 2008 as a charitable non-profit corporation with the purpose of being an educational, historical organization and traveling museum.
One of our ultimate goals is to have a museum to be able to properly educate the public (and fellow firefighters) about our rich heritage of firefighting, traditions and the apparatus used to perform those functions.
We petitioned the Executive Board of SPAAMFAA to become a chapter; and on February 20,2008 that request was granted. We are the Penn-Jer-Del chapter, and that name reflects the three primary states where we draw our membership from (Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware). That does not mean that residents from other areas are excluded from membership though. We have members from as far away as Florida. Our membership includes active and retired career and volunteer firefighters and officers; fire buffs and business persons. A large percentage of our members own hand drawn and motorized apparatus.
We have already had several musters and have participated in numerous other musters and parades. We are also slated to be the Host of the 2013 SPAAMFAA Summer Convention and Muster.
We would love to have you join us as a member. For a membership application, click on the Membership box on the menu bar or here.
