I am a fire fighter, and part of the Brookport Fire Department. We decided to clean out the attic in our fire house. We are trying to earn enough money to get a new fire truck, Or at least some new gear. I was asked by my fire chief to post some of the items on line to see if we could get the value of them. Any information and rough values of the items would be greatly appreciated.
These are fire grenades; At least that’s what it says on the box I found them in. I did a little research. Apparently this is what they used before fire extinguisher. When you had a fire you took one and threw it at the base of the fire. There made by a company called red comet. We have the box and 4 of them. I have been told we have all 6, but I think there long gone, at least I couldn’t find them.
