    1949 ward lafrance model 85T purchased in joint co operation with newport twp board of commissioners and the former glen alden coal co.they purchased twin 1949 engines,this being wanamie engine,the other being alden sheatown engine.at that time there was a fire co in each little village in newport twp,the other co's being glen lyon,sheatown,alden .it served as engine 1 until 1985 when ironically being replaced by another ward lafrance.its sister engine remains in service yet today.its sister was due to be replaced in 1992 with a fmc but during its construction the 1985 blew the motor ,which is why it remains as engine 3 today.
