Have you ever wanted to own your own fire truck? Well, you’re in luck! The Town of Winthrop is currently auctioning off two used fire trucks — a 1996 Pierce Dash – Tilt Cab Fire Pumper and a 1989 GMC Model TC7D04 E-One (used as a Rescue 1). Both of the fire trucks are perfect for road construction companies or for use in a small fire department.

Why are these auctions important? These auctions are helping to bring money right back into improving Winthrop’s community. 100% of the proceeds from these auctions go back to the Town of Winthrop. These funds are used for road maintenance, setting up local events for residents, community programs, public safety initiatives, and more!
