THIRD ALARM

Third Alarm is the OFBA's newsletter, published six times a year.  Each issue includes club news & events, news from the fire world, fire department rosters, apparatus photos, historical information and more.  We added colour photos to our cover in 2005.

Our editor is Walt McCall, noted fire apparatus historian and author of a number of books, including the classic American Fire Engines since 1900.

We have also published brief histories of two Canadian Fire Apparatus builders - "The Bickle Story" and "The Canadian Lafrance Story."
