Hansen Wheel & Wagon Shop completed restoration on an antique fire hose cart at the first of this month, and met with members of the Gretna Fire Department when they picked up their cart. This beautiful piece is now on display at the Fire Department in Gretna, Nebraska.
"Everyone that has seen the cart (hundreds of people ) are in awe of your workmanship. Some of the Gretna firemen were moved to tears when they saw it. Many firemen from other departments have asked who restored it. Quite a testimony to you and your incredible staff. Comments such as 'It belongs in a Museum' and 'it is a work of art' were heard more than once. The cart has really become an historical symbol of the 100 years of volunteer fire service to the Gretna community and has created a great sense of pride amongst the current firefighters. We are very grateful..." Russ Mayer
My grandpa has an old wagon that has been sitting on his property for years. This year for his birthday I'm going to surprise him and have the wagon restored. I know it is sentimental to him as he has kept it all these years. Hopefully I can make minimal repairs to keep it as close to the original as I can. http://www.customwagonwheels.com/small-wooden-wagon-wheels.html
