Lamar Brewer has been the chief of the Halls Fire Department for the past 28 years. Even though the position is a big commitment, the department is completely volunteer. As a result, Brewer has made his living restoring antique tractors. He recently combined his two passions when he helped complete a frame-off restoration of a 1941 Ford fire truck from the neighboring community of Roseboro. Manufactured in Virginia, the truck only logged 4,000 original miles. The truck is now on exhibition, painted in a striking “Salisbury Red” color at the Sampson County Historical Museum in Clinton, N.C. The truck holds 300 gallons and can pump 500 gallons per minute.
