Notable
history:
8314 was the first diesel powered
apparatus, and the last open cab vehicle ever
purchased by the Vigilant Fire Company.
8314 ran first due from 1980 to 1990 having
seen the end of the war years and the slow down of working fires in
Great Neck; fire safety awareness and building codes improved,
making careless fires a rare event.
