Quick Response Vehicle Donated to Make-A-Wish Connecticut

We wanted to take a moment to give a final send-off to the old W-66. In our mission to provide the best possible care to the Town of Waterford, we made the decision to retire W-66 as it had reached the end of its serviceable lifespan as an emergency vehicle. W-66 served the Waterford community from 2020-2025; initially as a Supervisor Vehicle, and most recently as a Quick Response Vehicle. As a Quick Response Vehicle, W-66 served a variety of roles such as responding to General Tones, bringing additional manpower to high acuity scenes, facilitating crew swaps, and providing standby coverage for events here in town. Through generous donations from the community, we have since replaced the Ford Explorer with a 2023 Dodge Durango, which will continue the previous W-66’s mission of serving the community as another Quick Response Vehicle.

But what did we do with the old W-66? We’re glad you asked! Since the new W-66 was able to be replaced using donation funds, we felt it was only fitting that we pay that generosity forward by donating the retired vehicle to Make-A-Wish Connecticut, the CT chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
