Harrington Dedicates New Apparatus to Past Chiefs

On May 19, 2023, the Harrington Fire Company held a housing/dedication fortheir2023 Pierce Engine/Tankerthat was placed in service May 1, 2023. This new unit replaces a 1987 Pierce Engine/Tankerthat has served the community forover35 years. The new Engine/Tankerwas dedicated to the Honorand Memory of past-Chief Joe Green (1976-1981) and past-Chief Robert Taylor (1983-1984). Both of these chiefs were pioneers and leaders of the Harrington Fire Company and served as mentor's to many of our members. These two men are one of the reasons the Harrington Fire is what it is today. The families of Chief Green and Chief Taylor were each presented a plaque from the company and a plaque will also be placed on Tanker50 honoring these two Chiefs. Ablessing of the new Tanker50 was given by Chaplain Rich Walton and the members officially backed it into the station. The old 50-2 was placed out of service forthe final time.
