Hadley Firefighters recently finished building a new forestry vehicle for the town. All work was done in house on a 2014 Ford F-350 chassis that they acquired. This apparatus carries 200-gallons of water, 5-gallons of class A foam and is equipped with a small pump. The previous brush truck, a 1951 Jeep N37 4x4 125/175, was retired and sold at auction.
