1991 E-One
Engine 3 is a 1991 Emergency-One. This apparatus was originally purchased and put in to service as a Rescue Pumper. It has the distinction of being the first
Rescue Pumper ever made by E-One. When the department retired and sold our 1978 Ward LaFrance, this rig was converted to an engine
and a new Rescue Pumper was purchased with increased compartmentation.

"what'cha got on this thing"?
Engine 3 has a 1500 gpm pump, carries 1500 gallons of water, 25 gallons of foam, 1300 feet of four inch supply line, several ground ladders and numerous attack lines. Being a custom designed piece of apparatus, a few luxuries were added to promote the "work smarter, not harder" theory. A ladder rack, for a 24' extention 10' folding attic and 14' roof ladders as well as two 8' pike poles, was put on a hydraulic lift to allow for the addition of high side compartments on the right side of the rig. This system also allows for the firefighter to bring the ladders down to shoulder height. A raised "command" cab and air conditioning were also added to the design.

Engine 1
Engine 1 is a 1947 Ford F-7 built by Sanford Fire Apparatus of Syracuse. It is the first motorized rig purchased new by the department.In 2002, a few of our members took it upon themselves to resurrect this piece from it's long hibernation.
After discovering the factory engine block had to be replaced, the hunt was on for another one. Salvage yards were scoured, websites were browsed and phone calls were made, until a workable replacement was located. Once the "new" block was purchased, re-built and installed, the entire electrical system was converted from 6 volt positive ground, to a normal 12 volt negative ground. All this was done on the premises by our members, on a budget of only 3,000.
