Division of Apparatus Maintenance

The Norwalk Fire Department Division of Apparatus Maintenance is located on Fairfield Avenue, directly across from Central Fire Headquarters, divided by Interstate 95.  It is supervised by Master Mechanic Scott Plank.  Assistant Mechanic Alan DiPietro and Part-Time Mechanic Mike Hagar assist in maintaining a fleet of 8 pump apparatus, 4 ladder trucks, 3 rescue trucks, 1 Haz-Mat tractor-trailer apparatus and several different types of service vehicles such as Staff cars, shop trucks and specialized rescue/support vehicles.

NFD Apparatus Maintenance Division was featured in the July/August 2006 edition of Fire Apparatus Journal for their outstanding work in taking retired apparatus and turning them into front-line specialty apparatus, including a 1982 American LaFrance Pumper that was converted into a Trench/Technical Rescue rig.  Other customized apparatus include a pumper that was converted into a tractor to pull a semi-trailer that serves as a Norwalk and Fairfield County Haz-Mat Response Truck.
