ANDOVER Residents at the annual Town Meeting on Saturday voted 50-34 to purchase a tanker truck for the Fire Department for $368,533.
“Thank you for the firetruck,” Fire Chief Jim Adler told voters. “It’s been an uphill battle.
“I understand the cost is going to scare you,” he said. “I’ve checked in for the cheapest truck I could get my hands on. I didn’t want anything elaborate. It is a big-ticket item, but it’s unavoidable. You can’t have a department perform properly without a tanker.”
