Engine 3 was sold in 1998 to Yelm Fire District 2 (Thurston County, WA), and it briefly served as Engine 21 before the bubble lights on top broke, leading a Federal Signal Vector being taken off an old aid unit and put on the engine. Soon after, it was placed into reserve status, around 2005ish. Due to its age the current S.E. Thurston Fire Authority (successor by merger of Yelm Fire District 2 and Rainier Fire District 4 in 2012) has it indefinitley out of service as they can't afford the annual inspections to keep it sertified and it is now used for parades/public education.
