PHILLIPS — Residents voted unanimously Wednesday during a special town meeting to transfer $75,000 from the town’s undesignated fund to the Fire Department’s equipment account to go toward a 2004 Ferrara fire engine.

“There were about 20 people attending,” Town Clerk B.J. Bangs wrote in an email Thursday, for the half-hour meeting.

Interim Fire Chief Sean Allen said the next step is to go to the Board of Selectmen meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at the Town Office. Selectmen will decide if they want to sign the purchase and sale agreement for the truck and go under contract for the delivery of it, he said.

The truck has 35,533 miles on it and there are 4,586 hours on the engine, Allen said. There is seating for six in the truck that include five seats with air packs in the seat where firefighters would only have to slip them on to be ready to fight a fire.

The truck is in Alabama and it will be delivered free of charge by the company to Phillips. The department has seven days to look and try the truck out to decide if it will work for them, he said. If the department doesn’t like the truck, it will be returned with no charge, Allen said.
