Operating from two stations, a call force of 25 members supplemented by two part time career firefighters from 6 AM to 6 PM (due to be expanded to 24 hour coverage) answer an average of 1,500 alarms annually.

Brush 1 - 2014 Ford F350/2020 Kimtek Firelite 13HP/200 gal. 5 gal. foam
In addition to this rig, Hadley Fire Rescue is prepping another brush truck they acquired from a department in New Hampshire that has been painted Yellow to match their fleet. I plan to return to Hadley on a future teaching trip to photograph that rig as it will be only the second Alum-Line brand rig I have ever photographed in my travels across the Northeast (the other one operates with the
Guilderland Center FD in Albany County, New York).
