This truck previously ran as Bluffton, IN. Rescue 1, and while I'm not entirely sure how the system works, I know it ran as one of multiple county wide rescues, it is now sitting out behind the station, listed online for sale through Firetrucks Unlimited for $10,000.

This truck used to be Bluffton Rescue 1. When Bluffton got a new Rescue it was given to Ossian fire as a water rescue rig. Ossian replaced this truck with a new 2015 Chevy pick up truck. Wells County pays Bluffton, Ossian , And Liberty center as county wide rescue companies, each covers 1/3 of the county. Wells county purchases the rescue rigs as part of the contract with the departments. Liberty Center just got a new Sutphan rescue engine payed for by wells county that runs as their rescue.
I haven't shot this department in awhile but finally got the next two trucks.
Angola, IN Engine 2 2009 E\-One Typhoon 1500 - 1000 #134833 This engine was built in hopes Cleveland, OH would purchase more engines as an add on but it never happened. Angola got a good deal on it i hear.

This is definitely one of the engines built for Cleveland. Cleveland ordered 3 of these engines with 500-gallon tanks in 2008. All three were built, but Cleveland cancelled the contract for two of the three engines due to budget constraints. The third engine is still in service at E1.
