New Utility truck arrives
and begins it's transformation and become SS40
Robbinsville (Mercer County)- After a long drawn out discussion and months of meetings, the Washington Volunteer Firemen Inc. purchased their new 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty with a Readings Utility body in December 2007 to replace their 1993 Ford F-350 Crew Cab. However, this new vehicle will be called Special Services 40 (SS40) and will continue to transport extra fire fighting materials, and equipment as well as tow the new Fire Prevention trailer that was received through a Grant which was put together by Capt. Schaffener. The delivery of the truck to the company is not set in stone at this time however it is possible it will be displayed in the Nottingham Memorial Day Parade.
At this time the new truck is
at the up lifter and soon after will be relocating to the Graphics Company to
put the final touches on it. The new truck will be equipped with:
Whelen Freedom LED
light bar with front and rear take downs and side alleys, (Red/Blue)
