The Saco Valley Fire Department, located on the northern side of Fryeburg, ME, still operates this 1986 Ford C/FMC 1000/1000 as Engine 3. This truck recently received a brand new Caterpillar engine, and originally served the Swanton, VT Fire Department. The Saco Valley Fire Department is unique as they cover 3 towns in Maine and New Hampshire. These include the northern side of Fryeburg, ME, the town of Stow, ME, and the town of Chatham, NH.
