The Marblehead Fire Department delivered some cool relief to kids at two locations on Friday, July 28, when Chief Jason Gilliland brought the ladder truck to the Rec & Parks playground camp at Gatchells and to the parking lot at the Community Center. The truck’s hose, placed at the top of the 105-foot ladder, sprayed down on kids running underneath for a fun summer splash.
