Wareham Firefighters break in new brush breaker
WAREHAM – You could say Wareham Firefighters were breaking in the new brush breaker truck.
The sparkling new five-ton brush breaker hasn’t even had its service numbers painted on its sides yet.
It was carrying its full load of 750 gallons of water, and 25 gallons of foam. Along with the firefighters it was also carrying 230 or so pounds of journalist who had been invited along for the training drill Saturday.
The training exercise involved locating Chief Matt Rowley and Assistant Chief Patrick Haskell who were secreted deep in the woods on the southern end of the over 12,000-acre Myles Standish State Forest.
