Tewksbury
The Tewksbury Board of Selectmen received an update on two fire engines that were taken off the road after failing to pass inspection.
Town Manager Richard Montuori said the most cost effective option for replacing the two engines is the purchase of two trucks previously leased by other communities, one a 2008 model and the other a 2009 model, each costing $330,000.
