The Steam Engine "Oceana" in front of 292 S. Hancock which still stands today. The Oceana was to be delivered in 1871, but was pressed into service to fight the Great Chicago fire before it could be shipped to Pentwater. The manufacturer hastily built and shipped a replacement. The hose wagon is at the Pentwater Historical Society.

This truck currently is being refurbished by a collector on the East Coast. Photos will be forthcoming.

The G.T. Sands building was next to the current Village/Township Hall. Now Bell Park.
Firefighters attacked the fire from the roof of the Village Hall building.
