Boston PD Has A Snowplow!

[x635 4,066]

Although I'm trying to find out what it's used for (I thought I had heard once that BPD had to maintain their own facilities, including snow removal), I thought this particular PD/DPW hybrid was awesome!

Actually, Boston PD had several of these, including some with sanders. I wonder if these are used during snow emergencies to plow PD/FD/EMS to calls?

Ver unusual that my PD and DPW interests mix!

City of Danbury FD has a Ford F-250 Pickup equipped with lights, sirens and snow plow. The vehicle is used by the mechanic, used for hauling material, and plows the Headquarters Parking lot. I have also seen it used as the shift commanders (Assistant Chief) vehicle when the on- duty Chief was on a fire and the called back Chief came in while the 2nd command vehicle was out of service. I know its not as cool as a low boy dump body, but its still interesting to see. Interested in a pic, just let me know, I can take one when I go back to work.
