AVFD Welcomes New Truck into Service

The truck was officially commissioned into service on Sunday.

AVON, CT — On Sunday, the Avon Volunteer Fire Department commissioned its new Engine 11 in a special “housing” ceremony at AVFD Company 4 on Huckleberry Hill Road.

Members of the department and the community pushed Engine 11 into its bay and formally welcomed it to the AVFD’s apparatus fleet.

The AVFD took delivery of its new Engine 11 in June and had been working to prepare Company 4 to become its permanent home, official said.
