VIDEO: Saving lives, in style!
The Town of Orrington recently unveiled its new, state-of-the-art fire truck.
Nearly three years after the town placed the order, the truck pulled up to the firehouse that was built specifically to house bigger apparatus like this.
Fire Chief Scott Stewart says the whole rig is custom-built, down to the eye-catching black paint job. “Yeah, we... I... really wanted to do something different from our traditional color. We kind of went back and forth with a few different things,” Stewart said. “And actually this change came at the last hour. The truck was ordered red and we changed it shortly after placing the order just because we wanted to do something a little different,” Stewart said. “It was kind of a secret. Most people here didn’t know until it started getting built and the pictures started showing up from the manufacturer.”
