Jay (ME) Considering Fire Apparatus Frame Repair

Selectpersons will consider three options to repair frame corrosion on the 2006 Engine 3 firetruck when they meet.

Fire Rescue Chief Mike Booker gave the board a heads-up on the problem last fall.

The frame has "severe corrosion," according to Booker and Town Manager Shiloh LaFreniere.

Booker contacted Greenwood Emergency Vehicles in Massachusetts, a dealer of E-One firetrucks, to see if the company would cover the cost of repairing the frame.

"However, the frame corrosion is beyond the warranty," LaFreniere said.
