At 0830 this morning, TFD was dispatched to the intersection of Goose Ln amd Anderson Rd for a wires down call. First arriving units discovered a vehicle had struck a utility pole, bringing it down along with the wires. Energized power lines fell onto the vehicle with the operator still inside. Crews made contact with the operator, keeping them inside until Eversource could de-energize the area. The operator was successfully extricated and transported to a local hospital. Eversource estimates another 5-6 hours for repairs.

Today we will talk about and show one of Tolland’s former fire trucks that served from 1949 until 1967. Shown below is a 1949 Chevy Fire Pumper which was the second pumper truck purchased for the Tolland Fire Department. It was purchased new in 1949 for $1,770.70 and built by Tolland Firemen being put in service in 1950. It was equipped with a separate Chrysler 500-gpm industrial engine powered pump and carried 500 gallons of water. It was the first to have a two-way radio installed in 1953. Its call sign was Engine Tank 41. A unique feature of this truck was that there was a process to start the pump since the pump was a separate industrial engine powered pump. Before responding to the fire and leaving the fire house during the winter months to prevent the water from freezing; you had to start the industrial engine, circulate the pump, if the engine stalled you then had to disengage pump, then restart the process over again, and then finally respond to the fire. After many years of service, Engine Tank 41 was sold to Avery Farms in Somers in 1967 after the new 1967 Ford Farrar Pumper was purchased. Engine Tank 41 is shown in a parade next to Hicks School (current Town Hall) on Old Post Road in 1963. Photo from the files of the Tolland Fire Department. ⠀
