Quiambaug Fire Department, in Stonington, operated this 1962 Maynard pumper that was built on an International R Chassis. This classic carried 1000 gallons of water and had a 750 GPM pump.
The current Engine 21 is a 2016 KME that also carries 1000 gallons of water. It has a pump that flows twice as much water (1500 GPM).
