Cos Cob Volunteer Fire Company Finalized Purchase Of Fire Engine

GREENWICH, CT — The Cos Cob Volunteer Fire Company, which has operated without its own engine for about a decade, is finalizing the purchase of a fire truck from the Round Hill Volunteer Fire Co., officials announced.

Terms of the purchase were not disclosed, but the KME-brand truck, called Engine 61 at Round Hill, will now be called Engine 21.

"This exciting moment is only possible because of the generosity of our friends and neighbors," wrote the Cos Cob department in a statement. "We made this purchase exclusively with dollars that have been donated to us over many years, and cannot thank everyone enough who have supported us and those that continue to. By doing so you have helped us make Cos Cob and our neighboring districts a safer place to live. We hope that once the final changes are made, and we have put Engine 21 in service, that you will come by and see the new truck in the station."
