🚒 SHE’S BACK IN SERVICE! 🚒
Just in time for Memorial Day, Hartwick Fire Department Company #1 officially welcomed Brush Truck 0851 back into the fleet this morning!
We celebrated its return with a traditional "push-in" ceremony, followed by a quick bath to get it shining bright for the parade.
Fire apparatus represent massive capital investments funded by our taxpayers. To maximize your investment, this vehicle underwent a complete remodel. The team at TNT Body King (411 Old Niskayuna Road, Latham, NY) did a phenomenal job equipping the truck with brand-new utility body parts to ensure it serves our community safely and efficiently for years to come.
THANK YOU to our incredible community members and the Town for supporting this project and making it possible. Your investment keeps our team safe and ready.
A special thank you goes out to Ron Clegg and Kevin Ray for the countless hours they personally invested in overseeing this remodel and getting this truck line-ready. We appreciate your dedication!
