1980 Ward La France/Maxim Engine (Retired)

Indian River’s Engine 80-7 was a five (5) man cab, with a 6v71 Detroit diesel engine, Allison automatic transmission, 1000 gallon per minute (GPM) Hale pump, and a 1000 gallon water tank.

Engine 80-7 was believed to be the next-to-last Ward La France ever manufactured and delivered.

Engine #80-7 was replaced with a unit scheduled for delivery in February, 2008. The new engine was identified as Engine #80-3 in mid calendar year 2008.

The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company sold Engine #80-7 to Beech Island, Aiken County, South Carolina and was refurbished for active use.

Information was obtained via website for Beech Island Fire Department in Aiken County, South Carolina.
