The Hebron Alden Greenwood Fire Department (FPD) officially received their new fire engine on August 12, 2014.
The engine is a 2014 Spartan MetroStar / UST model, equipped with a powerful 450 HP Cummins ISL9 engine.
It has a capacity for four personnel and features a 1500 GPM Hale QMAX pump along with a 1000-gallon water tank.
The unit is BLS (Basic Life Support) equipped and also includes extraction capabilities.
It has a low hose bed and a front-mount suction system for efficient water intake.
This new engine replaces two older units: a 1984 Ford C/3D engine and a 1980/1997 FMC/Spartan/US Tanker that had been refurbished over the years.
