A new fire truck dedicated at the Orange Volunteer Fire Department’s station, reports Orange Town News.
The new truck, designated Quint-32, went into service earlier this month. Equipped with a 75-foot aerial ladder, 1,500-gallon-per-minute pump and a variety of other tools, the Spartan/Smeal truck is designed to perform a variety of tasks at emergencies. Firefighters held a dedication ceremony, called a wetdown, on July 17th. In addition to showing off the new truck, the party included speeches and a cornhole tournament.
The truck replaces a 1978 Mack CK that had a 50-foot ladder and a 1,000-gallon-per-minute pump.
