On Monday, July 28 the Board of Selectmen accepted the Truck Committee's recommendation and voted to award the contract for the purchase of a new Engine 1 to Greenwood Emergency Vehicles of Attleboro, MA. Greenwood will supply a 2009 E-One Typhoon rescue pumper, similar in features to our current Engine 3. The new pumper will be slightly larger and feature foam capability for flammable liquid fires.
The final cost to Rowley's taxpayers will be approximately $427,000, which includes the purchase of some loose equipment to fully outfit the new engine. (The voters authorized an expenditure of up to $440,000.)
Delivery is expected in approximately 9 months.
