Mass. FD donates fire engine to a Caribbean fire department

DRACUT, Mass. – A Dracut fire engine that served the department for 31 years is set to embark on a new mission, bringing its lifesaving capabilities to the Caribbean. Rather than discarding their 1993 E-One pumper, Fire Engine 5, which the National Fire Protection Association deemed obsolete, the Dracut Fire Department announced on Friday that they decided to breathe new life into it. The department is replacing the old pumper with a new state-of-the-art model while sending the old engine to serve the Cambita Fire Department in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic.
