This website will be designed as a meeting point for owners of Pirsch fire equipment, as well as historians and those interested in more information.

     "Pirsch" in the context of this website refers to Peter Pirsch Fire Engines and Equipment of Kenosha, WI. This company in several forms was in operation from 1896 until 1988 and was one of the innovators of firefighting equipment and materials in the United States for many years.

     Pirsch provided many devices and materials to MANY departments throughout the US and the world.

     This website is meant as a research tool for Pirsch enthusiasts and collectors. We will attempt to expand the site as needed to keep abreast of developments.
