June 2013
Shelton: The town placed an order with
KME for two Quints, one will be assigned to the Pine Rock Park Station,
the other going to White Hills. Also, Pierce was awarded the heavy
rescue for Huntington and the rescue pumper for Echo Hose.
Shelton:
Echo Hose Ambulance is still in the process of adding a medic to the
membership. Eventually the tac car will be an ALS ambulance.
New Haven:
The new Sutphen Truck 1 should be delivered sometime in July to the New
Haven Fire Dept. The current Truck 1 will be traded in and Truck 1A
will remain a spare.
New Haven:
New Haven Fire got the funding to replace three pumper trucks. The
engines on the list for replacement include E5, E9 & E11. The bids
will go out in the near future. To my understanding E5 will be a foam
truck and will not be a quint. Also, the emergency unit that was
involved in a crash a few years back will be refurbished with a glider
kit and become Emergency 2. I believe a new fire hydrant truck will
also be included in the funding.
Bethel: Stony Hill has taken delivery of a new Pierce engine tanker.
Wilton: Marion has been awarded the bid to build a new tanker on a Spartan Gladiator Chassis. It will have a 2500/GWT with a 1500/GPM,
Fairfield:
Fairfield has taken delivery of a 2013 US Tanker on a Spartan Chassis
for Engine 1. Also a new Deputy Fire Chief vehicle should be in service
soon.
Hamden: Car 3 is now operating with a 2013 Ford Expedition.
Derby:
Derby has funds for a new pumper which will go to Storms. I believe
remounting FD-10's ambulance box on a new cab and chassis is also being
discussed.
New Canaan: New Canaan has placed an order with Marion to build a rescue pumper on a Spartan chassis.
