This photo from the Library of Congress shows the
1850 Hunneman Hand Tub Engine Arundel 2
and members of the Arundel Engine Company.
It is believed to be one of the earliest photographs
taken in Kennebunkport.
Senior members of the Arundel Engine Company
pose with the 1929 Mack 1000gpm Pumper
in front of the old station at 31 Ocean Ave in about 1931.
This truck has reportedly been restored and resides
at a museum in Pennsylvania
The Cape Porpoise Hose Wagon about 1906.
The body from this horse-drawn wagon was later
installed on a 1927 Chevrolet Truck chasis.
A few years later, the truck was given to the
Beachwood Hose Company at Goose Rocks Beach.

Kennebunkport Ladder 1,
a 1923 Graham, is maintained by the
Port Village Fire Company
and is still in service as a popular parade piece.
Cape Porpoise 1934 Atlantic Hose Company members Clayton Nunan and Wendell "Web" Cluff with the 1931 Reo pumper on the ramp at Atlantic Hall. The truck was given to the Cape by the Village and remained in service into the 1950's. In these photos, it must have just been delivered to the Cape as it still has its Arundel Engine Company lettering. (Photos courtesy of Nunan's Lobster Hut)

Fire Alarm Card
If you remember the "noon whistle" and always stopped to
count how many times it blew for a fire call, then you
probably had one of these tacked up in your house!
