1. Fire Engine House Marker
The Engine House was built by Village artisans in 1992 to house and display our antique fire engine. The Queen is a hand pumper built in 1851 by George Perry & Bros. of Montreal. It came to Upper Canada Village from Lyn, a small village north of Brockville. Mill owners were especially apprehensive about destructive fires, and often donated buildings to have a fire engine and equipment nearby.
Le poste de pompiers a été bâti par des artisans du Village en 1992 pour abriter et exposer notre antique pompe à incendie. La Queen est une pompe actionnée à la main fabriquée en 1851 par George Perry & Bros. de Montréal. Elle est venue à Upper Canada Village de Lyn. un petit village au nord de Brockville. Les propriétaires de moulins étaient particulièrement inquiets d'in cendies destructeurs et donnaient souvent des édifices pour avoir une pompe à incendie et de l'équipement à proximité.
