On Tuesday Jan. 16, 2018 the Middlebury Fire Department took delivery of a new ladder truck.  The truck is a HME Ahrens-Fox Model HAF111L 111’ rear mounted aerial ladder on a Spectr Chassis built by HME, Inc. of Wyoming, Michigan. The truck was purchased through Lakes Region Fire Apparatus of Tamworth, NH, Glenn Davis salesman. 
 
The truck has a 6 person custom cab with a stainless steel body, powered by a Cummins ISX-15 600hp motor and a Allison 4000EVS automatic transmission.  The frame rails, torque box and outriggers have been galvanized to better protect against the winter elements.  The truck has a full LED lighting package including driving, warning and scene lights.  The truck is equipped with an Onan 8000w hydraulic generator and also a Ramsay 9000# winch, receiver mountable on all 4 sides of the truck.
 
The new truck utilizes smart aerial technology with features like auto stor and anti-collision.  The aerial also has a pre-piped waterway with a remote controlled Akron automatic nozzle and has tip creeper controls to allow a firefighter at the top of the ladder to make adjustments to the ladder positioning.  The truck has been equipped with a compliment of power and hand tools to make it a very useful apparatus on a fire scene.
 
The committee that designed the truck were Asst. Chief Myron Selleck, Captain Jeff Carpenter, Captain Kirk Gallipo and Captain Scott Selleck.
