Firefighters had been utilizing a 1967 Ford as their squad truck the past five to six years. On loan to the department from the Maine Forest Service, it could no longer pass a state inspection and was taken out of service by the state.
The utility truck will be utilized by the department in number of ways, including:
• Woods fires
• Traffic accidents and traffic control
• Medical/police assistance calls
• Transporting the rescue sled, fire gear and firefighters on mutual aid calls
The Ford chassis is from Whited Ford in Bangor; the roof and hood contrast paint is by Wil’s Autobody, Dixfield; the utility body is by DuraMag, Waterville; with the graphics by Erik Designs, Rumford.
