A huge congratulations to eight members of the Rollinsford Fire Department on some major accomplishments!

Logan Boutwell, Dylan Coombs, Hailey Kelley, Seth Jones, Wade Jones, Jonathan Murphy, and Connor Tune recently completed Firefighter I & II training. This significant achievement represents months of dedication, long evenings of classes, hands-on training, studying, and testing. Completing this certification is no small feat, and these members have demonstrated the commitment, perseverance, and teamwork that make our department stronger.

We would also like to recognize Alyssa Foerster, who successfully completed Firefighter II and celebrated her 10-year anniversary in the fire service. Reaching either milestone is an accomplishment in itself—achieving both at the same time is especially noteworthy

We are incredibly proud of the effort each of these firefighters has put into their training and service to our community. Please join us in congratulating them on these achievements and thanking them for their continued dedication to the Rollinsford Fire Department.
