The Register Citizen
TORRINGTON, Conn. — The Board of Public Safety Wednesday considered the purchase of a fire truck by the Burrville Volunteer Fire Department made without board approval, a requirement stipulated in the memorandum of understanding between the city and its volunteer fire departments.
Capt. Jason Noad of the Burrville department, referred to as captain or chief alternatively during the meeting, purchased the truck for $12,000 to replace the department’s previous engine, which is no longer operational as its air brakes blew out during a training exercise in late May.
The truck was not inspected before being acquired by the Burrville department and has not been accepted into service by the Torrington department.
