The Orange Volunteer Fire Department will unveil its newest apparatus, Quint-32, at a “wetdown” and cornhole tournament at noon this Saturday.The new truck replaces an older vehicle that has since been sold. It is called a Quint because it performs a variety of functions. Like most fire engines, it is a powerful pumper and brings 500 gallons of water with it. In addition, it has a 75-foot aerial ladder and several ground ladders. It also has equipment on board that allows firefighters staffing the truck to perform a variety of tasks.
The OVFD received the truck earlier this month and firefighters are now being trained to use it.
The firefighters will officially unveil this fire truck at a wetdown and cornhole tournament this Saturday, Aug. 17, at the Orange Volunteer Fire Dept. Station 2, 355 Boston Post Road kicking off at noon.
The cornhole tournament is open to residents of Orange, West Haven, and Milford as well
as teams of firefighters. The cost to enter is $10 and prizes will be awarded to the winners. For
