Foxboro Fire helps out Mansfield
If you see a Foxboro ladder truck in Mansfield in the next few weeks, there’s a good reason. Mansfield ladder truck 37 is undergoing repair work that is expected to last multiple weeks. As a result, the Mansfield Fire Department is using Foxboro Fire’s ladder 25 as a loaner. Groups trained with the ladder truck although it’s extremely similar to the vehicle that is under repair. Mansfield Fire expressed thanks to Foxboro Fire for the loaner.
