January 2014 CT Fire Truck News
(From connfire.com)
North Branford: Rescue 1 will be assigned a 2013 PL Custom on a Spartan chassis walk around heavy rescue. It is due in town the week of January 20. The current Rescue 1, a Chevy Suburban first responder truck, will either become Rescue 11 or Emergency 1. The current Rescue 11, a 1988 GMC/E-One Walk In will be sold or disposed of.
Kent: There is a lot happening in Kent this year. First, a new ambulance is on order and I believe the plan is for them to run two ambulances. Also, a Firematic BRAT brush truck is also on order to replace the brush trucks. The town approved funds to purchase used from a department in Maryland a 2004 KME 102' Tower Ladder and included in the sale is a 1991 KME pumper truck. The department and KME mechanics already made the trip down south to look at the apparatus and funding has made it through all the major hurdles. I believe the pumper will replace Engine 5. The tower will be sent out for a new paint job and a minor refurbish prior to coming to Kent. All apparatus should be in Kent late springtime. Looking forward to photographing the new pieces.
Bethany: A new Ford SUV has been delivered and is being prepared for service to replace 1-Lima-1 which is an EMS fly car. Lima is the South Central CMED designation for Bethany.

It will be identical to the other Swab rescue trucks in town and is an EMS first responder vehicle. I believe they are currently working on spec's for two pumper trucks for the 2013-2014 budget.
