Our fancy new firetruck

Little boys (and girls, though I don't think many of you will care) of West Hartford, rejoice! There is a very fancy new firetruck in town for you to point at in awe from your car seats!

The Hartford Courant, doing its best West Hartford News impersonation, has an article all about the $818,000 "quint" truck (meaning it can be used as a ladder, pumper, aerial, hose, and water truck) that's now residing at Station 3 in Elmwood. You can read all about it over here. No word on if they're going to be giving free rides up and down the boom, though if they charged a buck a ride, that thing would be paid off in no time! 

One question remains: When it transforms, is it an Autobot or a Decepticon?
