The Company currently runs with two KME Engines. Both are custom made by KME Fire Apparatus. The color 1968 Cadillac blue was first seen on the 1971 Mack that was in service from 1971 to 2005 which we still use today for parades and block parties. Then came the 1981 Darley that served from 1981 to 1997. The first KME was purchased in 1997 (AKA 775) Along with the purchase of a 2006 KME (AKA 776).
776 is currently the first Engine out and backed up by 775.
