The "Oko" is a Button & Blake hand-pumped fire engine (also known as a handtub) built in 1861, carries
the serial number 551, is owned, and maintained by The OKO V.F.A. This beautiful handtub is still activly competing in musters
held all around New England every summer with other hand-pumpers in the New England States Veteran's Firemens' League
(NESVFL).The Oko V.F.A. would like to extend our invitation to all to attend a muster this year. It's a great sport the
oldest in the country and a fun time for all young and old, pack up a lunch bring the kids and enjoy the show. We are always
looking for new members, to win championships takes horse power and we sure can use all the help we can get. We invite you
to take a look around our website to learn more about us, our organization and our fine hand-engine. Hope to see you at the
next muster!!
