The City of Hudson Fire Department recently held an open house and wet-down ceremony for Truck 32, its new tower ladder, which was placed in service last September.

The 2021 E-ONE Typhoon, which was featured at FDIC 2021, boasts a 100-foot reach. Its predecessor was moved to reserve status. A report in hudsonvalley360.com says that it cost $1.3 million.

After it was placed in service it immediately saw plenty of action:

In what unfortunately seems to be a recurring theme lately, an East Orange fire truck was involved in a collision with a dump truck and a car Tuesday morning.

The crash took place around 11:45 a.m. at Halsted and Main streets. Five people, including three firefighters, suffered minor injuries.

The crash left the fire truck up against a store on Main Street, which also suffered minor damage, WABC reports.

The fire truck was reporting to a fire call and vehicles were pulling aside to let it pass when one driver apparently did notice the truck coming and pulled into traffic, prompting the crash, according to preliminary reports.

A new Somerville fire station will be located on the corner of Middlesex Avenue and Foley Street in Assembly Row, though ground has not yet been broken for it, city officials tell FA. It will be a 10,000-square-foot, ground-level firehouse in a new development, the city says on its website.

The fire station will include three apparatus bays with decontamination facilities for both the city’s professional force as well as an Auxiliary Firefighter Unit, and associated locker rooms, fitness room, individual bunk rooms, meeting space, and a kitchen. The firehouse (fossil-fuel-free) has environmentally sustainable features including:

• Air-source heat pumps
• Energy recovery unit
• Red-list-free materials

The fire station will have glass bays facing Middlesex Avenue, which aim to liven the street front and provide critical life-safety city services to the community. The firehouse will serve as a welcoming presence at a key entry road into the neighborhood.

The working team will have bunk rooms and social spaces to fit their needs. Bedding, desking, locker storage, and meeting space will benefit this professional group through use of space that is efficient, durable, and high-performance. The day-to-day life of both professional and volunteer firefighters, and the nature of their transient occupancy within the station, was researched through working sessions with users in order to create a unique experience that both livens and keeps the community safe.
