The City of Washington Fire Department dedicated its new Pierce Enforcer rescue engine Saturday. The engine will bear a plaque dedicated to the memory of Jeremy LaBella, a Washington firefighter who died in the line of duty in February 2007 when a roof collapsed during a structure fire. The vehicle replaces an engine that has been retired, and is the beginning of a modernization plan for the fire department. Pictured at the dedication ceremony are, from left, Chris Richer, chief of Washington’s fire department; Scott Putnam, Washington’s mayor; Councilman Andrew Callan; Councilman Kenneth Westcott; and Councilman Joseph DeThomas. The vehicle was paid for through grant funding.
