Yesterday we were called for a house fire on Mountain Road. Crews pulled up to a well involved house fire and a car on fire in the driveway. Crews did a great job in spite of the head start the fire had and the weather being hot and humid. Special thanks to our mutual aid companies,Armstrong Ambulance, DFS Rehab unit and Boston A10 Incident Support Unit. Our thoughts are with the residents.

Happy Fourth of July. Today our Tower led the parade and the new UTV followed at the end ready to render aid if needed. Special thanks to Wilmington for sending an engine and to retired FF Wally Decost and family and their antique Fire Engine. Thank you to all the members working today. Great to see retired Chief Steve Yetman marching today.
