Elizabeth Borough leaders held a short meeting Tuesday, hurrying to welcome the long-awaited arrival of the fire department’s new boat. Councilman and fire Chief Chad Rager announced the boat’s arrival during the meeting, and council members quickly motioned to approve all new business in one vote and adjourned the meeting. Members rushed to Market Street, where crews had blocked off the road in front of the fire hall. Within minutes, an Elizabeth fire department truck approached, hauling a 26-foot long, 300-horsepower boat covered in blue protective wrap.
