Today I'm back with some CT Fire Truck news 'n things. First off, North Branford's new rescue truck is in production at Rescue 1 in New Jersey. Also, their Medic 4 ambulance is getting remounted at AEV and a loaner will be provided. Citizens' Hose in Seymour has received their new rescue truck, a 2013 Pierce Velocity with bodywork by Firematic. Stony Hill, in Bethel, is getting a new Pierce engine in May. Nichols, in Trumbull, is in the final stages of ordering a new heavy rescue. Wallingford has rejected the bid from Sutphen for the new Engine 1.They are currently in the process of rebidding. Andover's 1991 E-One pumper is currently at GK for refurbishment. Canton has awarded the bid for 2 Spartan pumpers to 4 Guys and they should be in later this year. Canton also has a new ambulance in, replacing their old Ford ambulance. East Hartford has placed an order with Seagrave for a new pumper. They also purchased a Seagrave pumper that was used on the show Rescue Me.(Information from www.connfire.com).
Stay tuned for Part 2 coming next week (hopefully). Scratch that. It will be coming in May. I'll probably be doing this around the beginning of each month.
