Members of the Frankford Township Fire Department got their first look at the department’s newest fire truck when it arrived at the firehouse on Route 206 Wednesday afternoon.
Roughly a dozen firefighters and their families gathered at the firehouse, which officially opened last fall, to see the truck come up the hill shortly after 4 p.m. Those in attendance then spent several minutes walking into and around the vehicle and examining its various features.
The vehicle is a pumper rescue truck, the first of its kind owned by the Frankford department, according to Depatment President Mike Fox. While all other trucks in the township are designed with equipment to either fight fires or assist in rescue situations, he explained, the newest addition to the department is equipped for both scenarios.
