The Easton Fire Department is transitioning away from operating its own ambulance service, declaring multiple EMS assets surplus (power load system, CERT vehicle, stretchers, stair chairs, CPR machines, cardiac monitors) and selling them to the City of Pawtucket for $75,000, plus two surplus Lifepak 15 cardiac monitors to the City of Attleboro for $10,000. Concurrently, Easton is executing an Intermunicipal Agreement with Pawtucket for Emergency Motor Vehicle Technician Services, allowing Easton to provide apparatus maintenance services to Pawtucket using its growing maintenance program. These moves reallocate capital into a Fire Department surplus vehicle and equipment revolving account and formalize Easton as a regional maintenance provider. Vendors can respond by offering fleet maintenance systems, parts supply, diagnostic equipment, and staffing/training solutions to support Easton’s expanded maintenance role and post‑ambulance transition needs.
