Michigamme’s Steamer Comes Home

In 1900 the community of Michigamme bought a horse drawn steam fire engine. By 1962 it was obsolete and sold. Yet many valued the steamer and its historic beauty, setting off a multi-decade search and effort to bring it home.

***BE AWARE***
 IF YOU CALL FROM A CELL PHONE
  • Tell the emergency operator the location of the emergency right away 
  • provide the emergency operator with your wireless phone number, so if the call gets disconnected, the emergency operator can call you back
  • 911 centers currently lack the technical capability to receive texts, photos and videos
  • if your wireless phone is not “initialized” (meaning you do not have a contract for service with a wireless service provider), and your emergency call gets disconnected, you must call the emergency operator back because the operator does not have your telephone number and cannot contact you
  • to help public safety personnel allocate emergency resources, learn and use the designated number in your state for highway accidents or other non life-threatening incidents (Right now Michigan still uses 911 for traffic accidents.  Coming soon is 511 which will offer you current traffic, road conditions, detours etc.)
