BARTLETT — Good things come to those who wait, but Bartlett Fire Chief Jeff Currier admits he’s been champing at the bit for the town’s new fire engine to arrive.
He’d hoped to have the new Engine 3 on hand for the annual Hellen Hayes Fourth of July Parade but that didn’t happen. Currier was told by officials at Desorcie Emergency Products LLC, based in St Albans, Vt. it would arrive Thursday morning at 9 a.m., and while it had to take a bit of a circuitous route from the Green Mountain State due to the recent horrific flooding, it pulled into the station in Glen at 8:30 a.m.
