New Arrivals (Salem/Stonington)

Eastern Connecticut has recently added some new rigs to the front line. Pictured here are two new additions. The first one going to the Salem Fire Department which placed into service this 2008 Ferrara / Ignitor XD, 77' HD quint as Ladder 121. This apparatus is equipped with a 2000 GPM pump and a 300 gal / 30 gal Class A foam tank. This unit replaces a 50" Quint that was purchase from the St. Louis Fire Department about five years ago. That rig has moved on to the Lebenon Fire Department to continue it's service.
