Congratulations to Tom Griffin for receiving the "Marty McNamara" Award for Excellence in the recruit training from the Massachusetts Fire Academy; Firefighter I & II program.

Also to Tim Carey, Mat Curtis, and Dave Mosley for completing and passing the same course, good luck to all in certification. We know you will all pass.

Golf tournament was held on it's rescheduled date of July 22,2006. 70 golfers teed off at the Raceway Golf Course in Thompson. The winners were Ron Foriter, Ken Fortier, Richard McGrath, and Tony Gressak. Congratulations to them. All had a great time, a good steak dinner and a nice new T-Shirt. Hope to see you all next June. Thanks again.

 

  We took delivery of a new Ford F-350 Pickup truck that will become a brush truck when we refit our tank and pump on it.

This truck was purchased through the town's capital fund.

I would like to thank all of my firefighters and officers, especially Deputy Furno, for a good Job on July 19, 2006 on Franklin St.

They had a working commercial garage fire fully involved as well as several vehicles. Weather conditions were 100 degrees plus. All went well. We had three jakes taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion but other than that, all was good.

Thanks to the surrounding towns who helped out. I know I have a good department when I can be away and all goes well. You are the best.

 
The Douglas Fire Department thanks all of the residents of Douglas for their support.
 

As always stay safe and keep well.
