Minnesota Fire Engine Club

06/22/2026

In late May, the Minnesota Fire Engine Club (MNFEC) attended Mopars in the Park at the Dakota County Fairgrounds with two historic Dodge fire apparatus from our collection.

On display were our 1954 Dodge M37 Grass Rig, which served the Eden Prairie Fire Department, and our 1956 Dodge Tender, which served the Brownton Fire Department. Along with these historic vehicles, we shared information about our organization and offered our collectible challenge coins for sale.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit, ask questions, and learn more about preserving Minnesota’s firefighting history.

If you missed us at Mopars in the Park, be sure to stop by and see us at the next upcoming event:

🚒 Big Rig Open House
📅 Friday, June 26
⏰ 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
📍 Hosted by Marshall Lines Bus Company and Top the Tater Days in Farmington, Minnesota

We look forward to seeing you there and sharing more of Minnesota’s firefighting heritage!

Amazing turnout for the 2026 Pumpers in the Park!

The Minnesota Fire Engine Club would like to sincerely thank everyone from the community who came out to Bridge Square and spent the evening with us. Seeing so many families, kids, friends, and fire truck enthusiasts enjoying the displays, activities, food, and historic apparatus made this event incredibly special.

The smiles, excitement, and support from the public are what make events like this worthwhile. Whether you came to cool off by the water displays, learn more about fire safety, take photos with the trucks, or simply enjoy a fun night downtown, we truly appreciate you being there.

It was wonderful to see so many people filling the park, and helping us celebrate. Your continued support helps us keep these traditions alive for future generations.

Thank you again to everyone who attended and helped make the 2026 Pumpers in the Park such a memorable evening. We hope to see you all again next year! 🚒

Big things are happening!

Last Monday Night, we had the opportunity to attend Texas Roadhouse Kids Night, and it was a fantastic time for everyone involved. Kids and parents alike had a blast trying on different pieces of fire gear and even climbing into the driver’s seat of a real fire truck—an experience they won’t forget anytime soon!

A huge thank you to Texas Roadhouse for hosting us and supporting our mission. We’re excited to be back again on May 18th starting at 5 PM at the Apple Valley Texas Roadhouse—come out and join us for another fun-filled evening!

Back at the shop, our dedicated volunteers have been hard at work tackling a variety of projects to get everything ready for the upcoming season. Their efforts are what keep things running strong behind the scenes.

If you’re interested in getting involved and volunteering with us, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out anytime at www.mnfec.com.

Hard work finally paid off! 🚒

Our shop crew has brought our 1949 FWD Fire Engine to the point where it can handle a longer, reliable test run. There are still a few finishing touches in the works, but it’s getting closer to making its debut at one of our events later this year—stay tuned!

Huge shoutout to our shop team for the dedication that made this possible!
