Cab Ride

Just a little fun filmed from the jumpseat of Engine 4 after the Firefighters' Memorial Sunday services this week. Video of the ceremony will be coming soon; part of the service is already online at the Chaplain's Corner.

The Engine 1 spec has been completed and sent to the Board of Selectmen for legal review. Once Town Counsel has finished, it will be available for distribution to interested bidders.
