The Officers and members of Pittsfield Fire-Rescue were pleased to receive delivery of a new forestry truck on Monday, June 6th. The 2011 Ford F550 was secured through a $125,000 FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant to purchase the vehicle and associated equipment. This truck replaces a 1954 military surplus unit that had been serving as the forestry unit in Pittsfield for over 30 years.
