Canteen / A-10
A10 responds to incidents in and
around the greater Boston area. It is staffed by
members of the Boston Sparks Association who donate
their time to "serve those who serve". The equipment
and supplies are totally funded by donations of
goods and money. If you would like to help with your
donation, please click HERE.
The Boston Sparks Association Inc.
is grateful to the Cambridge Fire Department and
Chief Gerald Reardon for the generous donation of a
canteen vehicle. The vehicle is a 1992 Ford E350
Type I Ambulance formerly operated by Professional
Ambulance followed by a career as the Cambridge Fire
Department Dive Rescue Unit DR1 which ran out of
fire headquarters.
The members of the canteen committee retrofitted the
unit to serve as our canteen unit and it is equipped
with VHF, UHF and 800 MHz radios, 4KW Portable
Generator, Coffee Maker, Bottled Water, Soup,
Gatorade, Snacks, First Aid Kit, Coolers and all the
equipment required to offer operational support at
an incident.
This latest addition to the fleet will allow us to
better serve the METROFIRE Departments and all those
requesting our services
