About a year after the governing body approved its purchase, Stafford Volunteer Fire Co. Station 47’s new truck arrived on July 16, much to the delight of Chief Bill O’Neill.

“I love the truck,” he said, the Pierce Enforcer 107-foot aerial ladder truck glistening in the sunlight outside the station on Stafford Avenue. “This is a front-line attack truck that can do just about anything we need it to do. With this truck, we can fight fires, make rescues and carry loads of equipment.
