|
The Noroton Volunteer Fire Department has put into service a new fire engine, a “pumper” that replaces one bought in 1972, and it invites the public to see it at an open house from noon to 2 p.m. this coming Sunday, Oct. 18. The new vehicle was custom built in Wisconsin after a committee of Darien volunteers came up with specifications and research the purchase by visiting other departments in Fairfield and Westchester counties to see their new fire trucks. “The truck carries 650 gallons of water; 2,000 feet of supply hose from fire hydrant to fire locations and can pump up to 1,500 gallons of water per minute,” according to a news release issued Monday morning by the department. Here’s the full news release:
