Early spring brings increased activity in and around the village of West Barnstable, including several happenings in the Fire District, so on a recent Thursday morning, this reporter pulled up in front of the West Barnstable Fire Station on Route 149 to hear more about what’s new, including one weighty, 5-ton addition.
West Barnstable Fire Chief Joseph Maruca extended a welcome and offered a close-up look at the new addition to the department’s fleet of fire and rescue vehicles. We headed through the apparatus bay, passing through a tall canyon of red and silver vehicles parked close in the space, while firefighter Luke Walsh eased the new truck outside into the driveway to afford a better look.
