On Sunday, Feb. 26, the new-to-the- department "Quint" The 2002 Quint, so named because it servesfive purposes,wasfound inFlorida for $350,000,$300,000 of whichcamefrom a federal grant program. The WBFD purchased the truck from a dealership in Alabama and if new, it would cost between $500,000 and $600,000. It will replace the department's 1967 pumper.Besides being 40 years old and increasinglyinefficient,the department's insurance company would no longer cover the vehicle. The new truck carries a crew of six firefighters , 400 gallons of water, has a 75' aerial ladder and can pump 1500 gallons of water per minute. It has a short single axel wheelbase that makes it better suited to getting in and out of tight driveways and narrow private roads, than most larger ladder trucks. The new truck will be designated as Ladder 297 (L-297). The "wet down"ceremony isscheduled for 2 p.m. at the fire station and the public is invited.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:1 as one seemingly insig- nificant but important hu- man factor, Cape Codders should establishindividual off-Cape communication points, "like an uncle in Montana" that everybody in afamily can reach to get in touch with each other if separated. Crosby said that was a major problem with Katrina victims and it led to avoidable anguish among survivors cut off from their kin. Crosby said knowing precautions to be taken with emergency equip- ment such as generators is important. "We had three cases in December where people were nearly overcome by poorly vented genera- tors." A Safely-Vented Front Burner Issue History teaches that disaster planning is not a front-burner issue with or- dinary citizens-but ought to be. This isthe point the outreach program wants to make, Crosby said. The "Security in Knowl- edge"project mediablitzis imminent and video clips and other information should begin appearing on local Cable channels soon if not next week, Crosby said. The Web site has consid- erable information about creating disaster kits to suitindividual needs. Akit can be a plastic container holding a 72-hour supply of non-perishable food , water, radio , flashlight , extra batteries , phone numbers, blankets, extra clothing, and extra pre- scription drugs for those who need them. "Asyoulook aroundyour neighborhood, you need to consider the elderly couple next door too.What would happen to them if you don't help plan for them?" If someday individual Capecitizens are prepared to meet and survive disas- ters, they'll know a small- villagefire chiefhelped the effort in a big way.
