SOUTHWICK – During Monday night’s Select Board meeting, Southwick Fire Chief Russ Anderson displayed a new off-road vehicle to the Select Board which the department received from the Southwick Fireman’s Association.

Although the fire department already has one off-road vehicle that they currently use, it only features two seats, where the new one has five seats.
According to Anderson, the two-seated off road vehicle has been used for going into mountainous areas, on the rail trail, in the woods, and handling brush fires. Having a five-seat vehicle makes a big difference for the fire department.
“This gives us that flexibility,” said Anderson.
Anderson was also very appreciative of the generosity of the Southwick Fireman’s Association.
“This is a great and generous donation,” said Anderson.
For any questions or comments regarding the new off-road vehicle, contact the Southwick Fire Department at 413-569-6363.
