ONSET SQUAD PLANS

Onset had intended to seek funding for a new apparatus to replace
Squad 3.  That was postponed at the 2006 District Meeting for
further study.

ONSET ENGINE TO RETIRE


The 1975 Maxim most recently designated Engine 3 is scheduled
to retire from service on Oct 1, 2006.  Onset once operated two of
these open cab Maxims as E1 and E2.  Onset goes back to 2 engines
now that the bridge project is completed.  Engine 1 will remain at the
water dept building Station 2 and Engine 2 will be at Headquarters.

Onset Fire Department "Station 2"
 
The Onset Fire Department is utilizing the central bay of the Onset Water Dept
Offices at 15 Sand Pond Road as "Station 2".  It houses Onset E2.  The move was
necessary due to the main bridge into Onset being declared "unsafe" for fire apparatus.
