Retired fire trucks gain antique exemptions
Beginning 60 days after passage, New Hampshire extends antique-vehicle exemptions to retired fire trucks over 20 years old. They must be kept for exhibitions, club activities, parades, or other public-interest events—not commerce or intended daily use. They must be in original condition or restored to original or better condition. Qualifying trucks can use emergency lights and are exempt from the ban on driving vehicles equipped with sirens. Their tail lamps must show red light visible 100 feet behind them; lamps above 72 inches qualify only at their original factory location.
