NORWAY — The Fire Department’s Engine 4 is back in service after having the motor rebuilt.

Fire Chief David Knox picked up the town’s primary fire engine Friday from Cummings North in Scarborough. The 2007 Ferrara firetruck, which has a 2,500-gallon water capacity, had been out of service since an engine issue during a mutual aid call to Paris a few weeks ago.

At Thursday’s selectmen meeting, Knox reported that Cummings North needed just over a week to rebuild the motor. The repairs cost a little under $25,000, and the money will come from the fire department. The engine has a one-year warranty, he said.

The cost to tow the truck to Scarborough was $880, Knox said.

Knox added that to replace the engine with a newly rebuilt one would have cost the town more than $37,000.

Interim Town Manager Jeffrey Campbell reported that the highway department also has a truck that is out of service because of an engine issue. That problem has yet to be diagnosed, he said. He estimated repairs could cost between $20,000 and $37,000. He expected to have more information at the next Select Board meeting.

While not offering any specific number, Campbell gave a brief overview on the proposed municipal budget. He said much of the increase was due to wages and benefits, which he described as “not extravagant.”

The Code Enforcement Office is requesting a part-time employee to man the counter when CEO Chris Bilodeau is inspecting properties. The Fire Department has requested a full-time firefighter to cover the station weekdays and help ease some of Knox’s work schedule.

Campbell noted that Knox has not taken a vacation since starting more than two years ago.
