Transmission's new but Gilford Fire's Engine 2 needs still another repair

Published Date

GILFORD — Engine 2 is back in the Gilford Fire Station after getting a new transmission and should be back in full service this morning.
Lt. Dominic DeCarli said yesterday afternoon that the DPW discovered a problem with a shackle, which connects the leaf spring to the frame, and the truck, which can be driven, will go out again tomorrow to be repaired.
On Wednesday, Chief Steve Carrier said Lakes Region Fire Apparatus in Tamworth is making good progress on the pump repairs to Engine 4 and he expects the truck to also be back in service within a few weeks.
Meanwhile, DeCarli said Laconia's Engine 1 remains the front line attack engine in Gilford.
