Notable history:

8316 was the first due engine from 1990 to 2000. 
First Engine purchased by the Vigilant Fire Co. with a fully enclosed cab.

8316 is a favorite of many of our company chauffeurs for its easy driving and handling.  A sentimental favorite for many of the active members as it was the first due engine when they entered the fire company in the 1990’s. It’s the fire engine with which many of us fought our first fire and its been used primarily for training since it moved to second due in 2000.
