On January 6th, the Hollis, NH FD placed their brand new 2019 Sutphen/Dingee 500/750/30F into service as Rescue 1. This truck is replacing a much older 1996 International/Hackney Rescue, which before coming to the HFD served as a Pepsi Truck. This new Rescue will be more efficient, as it has seating for 4 compared to 2, more storage for all necessary items including up top storage, and a tank capable of holding 750-gallons of water. This new truck will help quicken the response to an MVA as well. Because it is acting as a “Rescue-Engine”, only 2 apparatus (the Rescue and Ambulance) will have to respond, compared to 3 that had to respond prior.
