New to Us MFD Ladder Truck

The Medfield Fire Department parlayed its relationship with the Westwood FD into the acquisition, for short money, of the Westwood ladder truck that was being replaced. We needed a ladder truck with a higher ladder, and picked up the old Westwood FD truck for $30,000. We share enough services with Westwood FD that our MFD knew the truck and its service history well, so no chance for surprises.

I asked Chief DeKing about the recent training on the new ladder truck and he shared some photos and a description of the new truck:

Hi Pete, Yes we had training on the new ladder truck and yes we have room for it at the station. It is a LARGE truck but we moved things around and made room for it. It is currently at the station. We had the Westwood lettering taken off and Medfield put on the truck this past week. Please see the attached photos. It is not currently in service, I have some mechanical work I would like to have done before placing it in service.

Thanks
Bill
