The Boyer Fire Apparatus Company started out as The Obenchain-Boyer Co. Manufacturers in 1899. Based in Logansport, Indiana, the O-B Co. started off as a manufacturer of chemical tanks, and built their business around them. However, after the passing of both John Obenchain (1907) and his son Mathew (1915), Stephen Boyer, who originally founded the company with John, knew that the growth and stability of the company would come from motorized pumpers.
Having been the secretary of his local volunteer fire company, Boyer knew fire apparatus and what improvements could be made to existing fire apparatus. "The Boyer fire engine of the 1920s was an economical workhorse." Boyer decided to stick with chassis builders for which he knew every fire department could easy find parts and service. Some of the main chassis lines offered came from: Ford, REO, Graham, International and Chevrolet. After the death of Stephen Boyer in 1925, the Boyer Fire Apparatus Company did experiment with custom chassis. It was also in 1925 that the Obenchain name was dropped, creating the new name, the Boyer Fire Apparatus Company.
The 1925 Boyer offered here remains today a remarkably original example. With its new paint, it comes with most of its original accessories, just as it did when ordered new including its Type (A) Hale pump, Bennett Rocky Mountain Brakes complete with a original Bennett Brake Pedal, Warford Two Speed Transmission, Original Hoses, Pike pole, Both Ladders, Original Siren, Chemical Tank, Spot Light, Axes, and Two Rear Spot Lights. With a mechanical starter, electric lights and pneumatic tires, the Fire Truck is a very usable vehicle and is in good running and driving condition.
In addition to being mostly complete and in good original condition, perhaps the most remarkable attribute the the Boyer Fire Truck is that it fits in a conventional garage space as well as a standard 20-foot trailer. A claim very few other fire trucks can make!
