Summary
The fire chief reported 44 calls in July and year-to-date call volume is higher than recent years; the department also provided mutual‑aid and crash response details.
The fire chief told the board the department handled 44 calls in July and that year‑to‑date call totals are the highest since 2023. "Another busy month. 44 calls, month of July," the chief reported.
The chief said firefighters provided standby services for the town fireworks, assisted at building and brush fires in neighboring towns, and set up a landing zone for a motorcycle crash near Wakefield. He presented monthly graphs showing comparative call volumes and a year‑to‑date comparison that the chief said shows an uptick in activity compared with prior years.
