Engine 3 is the third RFD engine company organized.  It entered service in 1964 with a 1963 International//Howe 750 GPM pumper with 500 gallons of water.

Engine 3 was purchased for $17,000 in Green Stamps trading stamps!

Upon retiring in Rowley, the ’63 was sold to the East Burke, VT, VFD where it continued to serve in front-line service.

In 1993, Engine 3 received its second apparatus, a 1981 Mack CF 1250/750  pictured above.  This rig originally served with the East Dover Fire Company of Toms River, NJ and was painted lime.

The Mack served until 2002, when it was replaced with the current E-One.  Engine 3’s Mack was then sold to Byfield, MA where it ran as Engine 1 until May of 2007.
