The North Attleboro Fire Department’s new pumper truck is now in service, TheSunChronicle.com reported.
The E-One Pumper, designated Engine 5, went into service Saturday, a fire official said, according to the report.
The $665,000 fire truck has new equipment, including battery-powered extrication equipment, low-pressure hoses and nozzles allowing firefighters to spray 1,500 gallons of water a minute, the report said.
The truck also has hydraulic lifting struts to stabilize vehicles involved in accidents and a variety of other tools, the report said.
The department received the truck in July but it is now being used after firefighters underwent training. The truck replaces the aging Engine 1, the report said.
