Weymouth has welcomed two new fire engines and a ladder truck, reports The Patriot Ledger.

The three-vehicle additions are among four new fire trucks that have been acquired since 2016. Town Council authorized a recent purchase of a ladder truck and fire engine by transferring $1.77 million from Weymouth’s stabilization account.
