Introducing Freddie


The Town recently accepted a grant from the Department of Homeland Security for a robotic fire truck. This truck will be used for fire education by the Fire Department. The fully animated fire truck robot moves, speaks, listens, plays audiocassette tapes and sounds his siren, all by remote control. Tools like this help reinforce fire prevention to young children. The robot will be taken to schools, used in open houses, and other special town events represented by the Fire Department. Contact Chief Bantes if you feel this educational robot would be useful at your event.
