Town Report Fire/Rescue 2020-2021

Hello hope you all enjoyed the winter if not spring is here and warm weather arrives which means Town budget season is here and the Fire/Rescue budget hopefully reflects the needs of the community we kept is as flat as possible the increases in any lines are due to either more young people responding and items for maintenance that have gone up or need to be done soon to be able to respond when an emergencies happens. The dept is in good shape personnel way we have had some new members join and are interested in learning and helping out just like always we have problems during the day with all working that’s why we have good mutual aid with our neighboring towns. Included in the budget is E.M.A. (emergency management FEMA) and Dispatch budget which are there for they are close working part of the fire service. EMA has recently received a small radio grant which helps out and the dispatch budget is set by Andy Co. on population and calls they do a good job with how busy it can be now a days. I hope that you take the time and go over the budget and hopefully support us, and I want to know that we will be there for you all when called upon.
