    Hastings-on-Hudson has received a 2021 Spartan/Marion for Rescue 100


    This replaces a "Frankenstein" style rig that previously saw service in Norwalk, Connecticut. That rig was assembled by the Norwalk FD Shops utilizing components from several older NFD rigs. Hastings acquired it in 2010 as a trade for their 1985 American LaFrance 100' Tiller.
