Roberts Park purchased the old truck from Brookfield. I took this picture a few weeks ago. Since then, it has been sent in to get updated according to my source. It will be a spare truck.

From Martin Nowak:
From Roberts Park Minutes:Fleet Status – Ambulance 308 has been sent to Osage for its refurbishment. Expected completion is three to four months out.
When Ambulance 308 is refurbished, a power cot will be added as this is the optimal time to do so. Ultimately, the other ambulances will need the same, but we will have to wait forfunding.
Roberts Park purchased this used 2009 Seagrave engine which previously served Mansfield, MA. It will replace Engine 303 (Ex Engine 31) a 1993 Pierce Dash that formerly served Justice FD as Engine 551 prior to the takeover.
and, from our archives, a photo of Justice Engine 551 when it was brand new.
