Tee up for a good cause: Speigletown Fire's Golf Scramble returns September 26

The Speigletown District Volunteer Fire Company’s annual Golf Scramble is back — Saturday, September 26, 2026 at Frear Park Municipal Golf Course in Troy. It’s a full day out for a good cause: 18 holes with a cart, lunch at the turn, and dinner with an awards presentation to close things out. And this year every dollar goes toward something worth saving — a rehab of the company’s 1936 American LaFrance fire truck.

The Speigletown District Volunteer Fire Company's beautifully preserved 1936 American LaFrance fire truck, in red with gold lettering, parked outside. — The company's 1936 American LaFrance — this year's tournament funds its refurbishment.

Why it matters

The 1936 American LaFrance fire truck out in a local parade, a firefighter waving from the driver's seat. — The LaFrance still turns out for parades and members' funerals — the reason it's worth restoring.

The 1936 American LaFrance isn’t just a showpiece. The company still brings it out for special events — parades, and funerals for past members. Keeping it road-worthy takes real work, and the Golf Scramble is a big part of how the volunteers pay for it.

Reflecting on last year’s outing, the company shared:

“Thank you to everyone who participated in our 2025 Golf Scramble. It was a great day, and you helped raise money to support our training, to benefit the community. We look forward to seeing you next year.”
