MANCHESTERBYTHESEA – As we conclude the month, we’d like to highlight one of our valuable assets: Squad 2, a 2017 Polaris Ranger. This vehicle serves as a joint resource for Manchester Emergency Management, Manchester Fire, and Manchester Police Departments. We successfully acquired this used UTV through Emergency Management funds, with special thanks to Police Chief Fitzgerald for his support. We further enhanced the unit with grant funds secured by Fire Chief McNeilly. Sergeant Newton installed the emergency lights and sirens, while Firefighter Campbell took care of maintenance and vehicle upgrades. Squad 2 is crucial for managing brush, conducting rescues in wooded and beach areas, and enabling law enforcement to access hard-to-reach locations when necessary.
