The 44th annual Fire Muster & Fire Fighter’s Family Day, presented by the Glasstown Antique Fire Brigade, will take place at Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center on Sunday, August 17, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Explore over 80 antique fire trucks from the Mid-Atlantic States on display through the WheatonArts campus. This year, the fire truck used during the episode Peyton’s Places: The Santa Game will be out for presentation! The truck featured in the segment is a very rare 1961 Ward LaFrance Firebrand model. The FireBrand was introduced in 1960 and manufactured for just under 3 years by Ward LaFrance, located in Elmira Heights, New York. With only 109 Firebrands manufactured, few are known to remain in running condition. This truck and its sister truck are part of Glasstown Antique Fire Brigade member John Burzichellis' Ward LaFrance collection. Visitors will be able to take pictures as they climb aboard the fire truck and stand in the same spot as Peyton Manning did during the episode. Fire Muster is FREE and open to the public, part of WheatonArts Family Days, presented in part by PNC Arts Alive. All WheatonArts exhibitions and artist demonstrations are free for the day as well.
