Fire departments from Southampton, Sag Harbor and Springs brought their ladder trucks to Bridgehampton on Sunday for the official “wet down” of several new vehicles added to the Bridgehampton Fire Department fleet.
The dedication ceremony took place at the department’s School Street headquarters.
Added to the fleet were the Bridgehampton department’s first ladder truck, a 77-foot quint that holds 750 gallons of water and 30 gallons of foam. It is known as 7-2-1.
Also added were two new ambulances, a new first responder vehicle for the department’s paid paramedic program and a new chief’s vehicle.
One of the ambulances is being named “The Ben~n~Wally” after Beryl and Walter Buchholtz of Bridgehampton, a husband-and-wife team who together gave 85 years of service to the department’s EMS company.
The ladder truck was dedicated to the past, present and future members of the Mack engine company.
