 Veazie Engine 192 was purchased through Greenwood Emergency Vehicles out of Brunswick, Maine and manufactured by E-One Emergency Vehicles out of Ocala, Florida. It was put into service in November of 2008 as a replacement for Engine 193. Engine 193 was a 1980 Mack pumper that served the Town of Veazie valiantly for 28 years. Engine 192 is a E-One Typhoon Rescue Pumper. The Rescue body has larger compartments, allowing for more equipment storage. 192 has a 1500 GPM
