Wilton-Lyndeborough-Temple EMS based in Wilton, NH currently covers the Towns of Wilton, Lyndeborough and Temple with dispatch from two different dispatch centers. Wilton calls are dispatched by MACC Base in Milford on 155.100 as 30A1 or 30A2, Lyndeborough calls are dispatched by KMA SWNH on 154.43 as 82A1 and 82A2 and Temple calls are dispatched also by SWNH on 154.43 as 50A1 and 50A2. When the ambulance is toned to Wilton calls, they come up on the SWNH frequency to advise that they are on a call to Wilton, and visa versa when they go to Lyndeborough or Temple they go up on the MACC Base Frequency and tell them the same. This is to avoid both dispatch centers trying to send out the same rig.

This came about because the towns of Lyndeborough and Temple use SWNH for their Fire Dispatch and wanted the Ambulance on the same frequency, while Wilton is a member of MACC Base and continues to use them for all departments.

Bath New Old Engine On Dec. 10, the Bath Fire Department took delivery of a 1979 Ford F700 pumper fire truck, rounding off their assemblage of one engine and two tankers. They paid just $2,500 for the vehicle which has a mere 5,000 miles on it.

The pumper truck was previously owned by the Boylston MA Fire Department. The plan is to keep the pumper truck on the west side of the Ammonoosuc River. With the weight limit restrictions placed on the Bath Covered Bridge, it is imperative to have an emergency vehicle that can be on the ready on the west side of the River.
