Knights Ferry purchased the Hook and Ladder Fire Wagon in New York and shipped it around the Horn, with the wagon arriving in San Francisco in 1872. When it arrived, a San Francisco fire company claimed it, but a delegation from Knights Ferry recovered the fire wagon and brought it home. In 1998, the Oakdale Rural Volunteers completely rebuilt it to its original splendor.
