8/17/2016 & 8/18/2016 last two runs for Spartan/LTI Truck 11.
At approximately 7:19 PM on Wednesday August 17th,
the East Greenbush fire department was dispatched for a reported gas leak in a business
on Troy Rd. Truck 11, Engine 9 and Engine 7 responded and determined the leak to be in the
meter. National Grid arrived and fire department units were released.
At 11:12 AM the East Greenbush Fire Department
was dispatched to assist Bruen Rescue with a construction accident on Elliot Rd.
Truck 11, Engine 9 and Rescue 11 responded to help lift the patient carefully onto the
stretcher.
These calls are significant to the history
of our department because they represent the last two calls for the 1991 Spartan/LTI Truck 11
which has now been replaced by the 2015 Pierce Truck 11. Kudos to Tom Kennedy as the last
member to drive the old Truck 11 to an emergency call, (worthy of the photo taken while parked at the scene).
