HHFD Gets New Ambulance
On December 23, 2002 the HHFD received their new ambulance -- 25-EMS-2. The cost was
$152,000 and paid for by a 2002 legislative grant from Trenton. Here are the
first photos -- moments after arrival.
The ambulance it replaces was acquired in 1983 and has 45,000 miles. It was
partially refurbished in 1995 with a new chassis after its engine caught fire in September
1994. Once decommissioned, the DPW will use it to carry sewer cameras.

The Department in full dress uniform was joined by members of the public for a program
that included comments by Mayor William J. Torre, District 38 Assemblywoman Rose Marie
Heck, Fire Chief Robert Thomasey, Fire Commissioner Justin A. DiPisa and Deputy Fire
