| The
Firefighters Association continues to work hard in their
fundraising efforts. The monies from these events are put
towards the purchase of new equipment for the firefighters.
|
| |
|
 |
|
Most recently the Association, along with the Chief,
have put together their funds to purchase and
install a new Will-Burt Night Scan Lighting Unit on
Rescue 1. Similar to the one pictured here. |
|
| |
| In the past,
the Association has raised and spent thousands of dollars on new
and improved equipment for this department. In doing so, they
have helped keep the operating budget on the Town side in check.
I commend them and I hope that the Community continues to
support their efforts. |
| |
| I would like
to thank all the members who helped in the Lighting of the
Common and the Santa Claus Parade, especially David Furno. Great
Job! |

| The Fire
Department Christmas Party was held on December 10, 2005. A
great time was had by all. The Association honored the following
members for their years of service to the Department; Retired
Chief Phil Brule, EMT Linda Nadeau, EMT Raymond Nadeau and EMT
Alberta Collins. Each received a nice wrist watch and a plaque
from the Board of Selectmen. Thank you for your years of
support. |

The Town of Douglas took delivery of a new 75'
Pierce Aerial Quint. This vehicle replaces a 1976
Maxim. The Douglas Fire Department received a
federal grant for this vehicle from the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security. |
|
| |
| The town only
had to spend $25,000 for this vehicle. The truck was purchased
from Minuteman Fire Apparatus. This vehicle in now in service
and I would like to thank all who helped support this grant and
all who worked hard in receiving this grant. |

| A full-size
picture of the new Ladder 1 is on the
Apparatus page. |

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

As always stay safe and keep well.
