A new $415,000 rescue truck replaced the fire department’s 18 year-old truck. The truck includes state of the art rescue and medical equipment and offers better maneuverability for navigating the Islands winding lanes and steep driveways. Funding was authorized by a $5.2 million capital levy passed by Island voters in the fall of 2012 that was also for the new fire station.
