Hanson Fire Department News  

The Town of Hanson is looking to replace a fire engine that is 17 years old. Unfortunately, due to the financial situation of the Town, we are asking that residents support a debt exclusion for the replacement of this truck. This means that a house valued at $310,400 would be charged $103.33 for one year. It is important to realize that this is a one time payment. Purchasing the truck this way will save the Town and Taxpayers $37,000 in interest. The truck we are looking to replace cost the department over $9,000 in unanticipated repairs and was out of service for over 20 days last year. This truck responds to approximately 800 calls for service annually. This is a real need for our Town and our Department. Please come out on May 19th and vote yes on question 1.

The Hanson Fire Department is pleased to announce it was awarded an Assistance to Firefighters Grant for the amount of $136,360. These funds will be used to replace all radio equipment.
