Norwich Township trustees voted to hire six men as full‑time firefighters for the Norwich Township Fire Department, effective Jan. 1, 1979. The motion, made by Webster D. Junk and seconded by Durland L. Workman, passed on a unanimous voice vote.
The trustees recorded the names of the six hires as Kenneth McDonald, Timothy Massie, Donald Hull, Robert Crouso, Regineld Brown and William Midgley. The minutes state each will serve a one‑year probationary period and that the clerk will send appointment letters to the new employees. The new hires were instructed to contact the fire chief about physicals, uniforms and other onboarding logistics.
The appointment followed a trustees' report that the fire department had selected candidates after interviews. Trustees also approved related administrative steps: sending letters to the newly hired men, notifying others placed on the eligibility list, and coordinating physicals and uniforms with department leadership.
The trustees handled the hiring as part of routine public‑meeting business; the motion was recorded as approved on a vote of “all ‘Aye’.” The minutes do not list individual vote tallies or any dissenting remarks.
Looking ahead, the new firefighters will be on the roster beginning Jan. 1, 1979, subject to the stated probationary period and completion of the department's onboarding requirements.
