     The Champlin Boy Scout Reservation is located at 223 Scituate Avenue in Cranston.  Although not actually a volunteer fire company, they did maintain a brush-truck designated as Engine 18 to put out the occasional brush fire.  As far as it’s known, the truck was never called into service outside the reservation.  

     What became of the Champlain fire truck is unknown, but the following photos indicate it is no longer in service. 

Location Unknown.
