Society for the Preservation & Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America

Local and National Chapters

The SPAAMFAA organization consists of both individual local chapters and as an overall national/international organization.

Local Chapters can be found in most major metropolitan areas and are the vanguard. They provide face-to-face (and often hands-on) support and organizational resources for fire apparatus enthusiasts living and working in a given geographic area. Most local chapters organize regular meetings and host special events, and their members are also often more focused on documenting fire service and fire apparatus history on a local level.
We encourage you to seek out and join your local chapter in addition to joining the SPAAMFAA National organization.
