Congratulations to Tiverton’s Class of 2020!
As we continue to social distance, many of our younger citizens are going without a typical birthday celebration. When we were asked if we would mind doing a drive by to help celebrate Braydon’s 6th birthday, there was no hesitation by the fire or police department. Happy Birthday and we hope we made your birthday a little more special.

We received multiple calls this morning in the north end of Tiverton for a smell of natural gas. The area has been check and determined to be from a major gas leak in Fall River (Bay @ Birch St). National Grid is working to control the situation. They estimate approx 1 hour. If you smell gas in the area, feel free to call 911 and we will come to check it out.
The new rescue was placed in service today and is already responding to its first run
Recently there has been a lot of conversation about the three budgets that will be placed before you as a voter of this community this month. The budgets all vary greatly, and two of those budgets have a significant impact on the services that we, and other departments will be able to provide you as a citizen of this community. One of the Petitioners Budget cuts anywhere from $600,000.00 to $750,000.00 from the budget. The other Petitioners budget seeks to cut $400,000.00 from the budget in various areas. I wish that I could comment on both proposed Petitioners budgets, but the budget submitted by Mr. Katz does not provide for an analysis of where he believes the funds can be taken and there is no information given to support his claims that this cut will not affect services. The Second budget submitted by Council Member Joseph Souza does provide us some insight to where he intends to cut funds, and as such we are able to seek answers to how those proposed cuts were made. I will not discuss the entire proposed budget cuts he is requesting in this summation, but I will try to outline how those proposed cuts were not made based on any solid information. Mr. Souza cut the overtime line item by $100,000.00 dollars. When pressed on this issue, his response was that he felt the was enough to get by. He also proposed a line item cut to the building maintenance account taking it from $40,000.00 to $15,000.00 dollars. Again he is not able to support or justify this proposed cut. Over the last several years there was an increase in the overtime spent with in this department. The cause of that increase was the in ability to retain staff and provide for a full roster to cover all shifts. Numerous vacancies caused overtime to be spent to fill vacant positions so we could provide the required coverage to you, the citizens of Tiverton. Based upon our current numbers in the area of overtime, and historical information used to calculate our b

Thanks for helping out today no job too big or too small! My mother in law & I were very appreciative!!👍
I want to thank the Tiverton physicians and Tiverton rescue. I was in need of medical attention today due to a serious reaction to a Bee sting.
Couldn’t ask for a more professional group. I was in trouble and they were right there to help.
Tiverton is very lucky to have you!
Thanks again for taking such excellent care of me. I hate to think what would have happened without you all!
