Middlefield Fire Co.'s New Ranger Will Aid Rescue Operations

Post from Middlefield Volunteer Fire Company:

We would like to thank Cofiell’s Sport and Power in Glastonbury for outfitting us with a Polaris Ranger 6x6.

This machine will allow us to reach place further into the woods with more ease. The unit includes a fire rescue skid with water tank, pump, and stokes basket for rescues.

This UTV will play a valuable role in brush fires and rescues, and will be placed into service after training has been completed.
