The Garrison Volunteer Fire Co. has purchased two new vehicles: a mini-pumper truck and an ATV. The pumper, mounted on a Ford F550 frame, is “ideal for navigating Garrison’s narrow roads and driveways,” said President Mike Viveros. The ATV ensures firefighters can access difficult terrain in remote areas, he said, noting that “prudent fiscal management” allowed the company to make the purchases without a tax increase or borrowing money.
