West Barnstable

West Barnstable Fire Department has a couple apparatus issues.
The ET-296 (1985 Pierce 2000/3000) is scheduled to be replaced
once the new Tanker arrives (later this Spring). It has some
mechanical issues and is currently out of service.

Ladder 297, the 2006 (2002) Pierce Quantum 1500/400 75'
Quint Ladder Truck was also recently found to have some
mechanical issues. It too has been taken out of service.

In a bit of a jam, WBFD was recently able to acquire a retired
Provincetown Engine to serve once again. The former Engine 195,
2001 Freightliner/Ferrara 1250/500 Pumper, will become
West Barnstable Engine 297.
