New Fairfield officials sign off on Fire Department tanker replacement

The New Fairfield Board of Selectmen recently signed off on the purchase of a new fire truck.  Leaders from Volunteer Fire Department Company A attended the meeting last month to explain the process to chose the Tanker 7 replacement.  It's on the Reserve Fun replacement schedule for the 2019-20 fiscal year. 

They were able to use the cooperative buying program that the town is enrolled with to save both time and money on this purchase.  Initially estimated to cost $450,000, the replacement came in under budget.  A 2020 Freighliner, Pierce built tanker, with a pump and carrying 1,800 gallons of water, the price is $416,000.  $353,600 will come from the Reserve Fund, and the remaining 15-percent will be paid for by Company A. 

All three fire companies have approved bringing this request forward.
