Apparatus

“Apparatus” is the word firefighters use to describe all the equipment used in firefighting, especially vehicles.  Apparatus is regularly inspected and must meet standards and requirements set by the National Fire Protection Association. The Bridgewater Volunteer Fire Company is committed to provide the community with apparatus that is highly functional and safe.
