Arlington Firemen reconfigure tanker for town use
Arlington selectmen considered swapping the 1600 gallon tank from the 1971 Ford tanker onto the army truck to avoid overloading the chassis and to repair the town’s aging equipment. The plan includes funding by reimbursing the fire company’s $3000 investment and building a new pumper tanker by 1976 with revenue sharing.
