Haverhill Fire Department’s new Rescue 1 truck was put to the test Christmas morning at two separate automobile accident scenes one with serious injuries.
Fire Chief William F. Laliberty said the 2020 Pierce Rescue was first dispatched to a seven-car accident around 6:30, Christmas morning, on Interstate 495, and its extrication tool used around 10 a.m. at the scene of a head-on collision along Broadway in Ayer’s Village.
“On Broadway, people needed to be extricated from both vehicles. They were treated and taken to local hospitals,” Laliberty said. While serious, he noted, none of the reported injuries were life-threatening.
