Select Board approves three probationary firefighters
Summary
The Hampden Select Board voted to approve three candidates — Emily Miller, Hannah and Josh — as probationary firefighters subject to standard probationary regulations following a presentation by the fire chief.
The Hampden Select Board voted Aug. 17 to appoint three new probationary firefighters after the fire chief introduced the candidates and described their training and local connections. The board approved Emily Miller, Hannah and Josh to move from cadet to probationary status; the appointments are subject to the department’s standard probationary regulations.
The chief said Josh had participated in the cadet program and completed an introductory Firefighter I course and that Emily Miller already holds Firefighter I–II certification through the Air Force. “She already has her firefighter one two certification,” the chief said. Board members congratulated the recruits and approved the appointments by voice vote.
The board’s action was procedural: the motion to approve the candidates and “subject to all probationary regulations” was seconded and carried. No implementation timeline beyond the standard one-year probationary review was specified.
