Norristown-  On February 2nd, the members of the Union Historical Fire Society were invited to have their winter "2025" meeting in the recently refurbished , "Battalion Chief John Magrann Fire Museum". This museum is located at DeKalb and Chestnut Sts. in an old two story, two bay fire station that was originally used by the town's Norris Hose Co . The museum's name pays homage to a Philadelphia F D Third Battalion Chief who succumbed to a LODD at an explosion back in 1954 . The museum is still undergoing work as new exhibits are acquired. A grand opening will occur sometime in spring. The members were enthused about their visit and personally thanked the curator Ryan TreDenick for his hospitality. One of the rigs on display is a 1925 Type 31 American La France 65' tillered ladder truck. Some of the Lehigh Valley members were aware of this kind of rig as the Hibernia No. 6 in Allentown, also had a similar 1920 type 31 75' tillered ladder truck.
