This engine is equipped with a 1,500 GPM pump 1,000 Gal water tank the enclosed cab has seating for 3 firefighters plus the driver/operator and officer.

Notes from the webmaster for Monticello -Fire.org

    I can remember the times as a youngster we would visit the farm that Irene lived on with her father. My father was a can milk hauler for Pet Milk at New Glarus and Wilbert (Irene's father) was one of his patrons. We would be invited to dine with Irene and Wilbert once during the summer. The highlight of that day for me and my sister was having a ride on one of Wilbert's horses. Wilbert still had a team of draft horses and he would take one out of the barn and we would ride bareback around the fields with the horse being lead by Wilbert. For a 8-9 year old this made quite a impression.

    Irene was a fixture in the community she worked in the dry goods department of Blum's Store for years. And was very active in local church social circles. She moved into the village in the late 1970's when the farm was purchased by a Gordon Smith. The farm house was destroyed by fire on Christmas Day 1980.
