I also think it is great that instead of covering up that someone missed a mandated training that they would be removed, to save the town from fines!! I am very appreciative of all the work the rescue department does. This just shows that they are honest and open.

I also agree with you Glen that ALL town departments should be showing their reports as to what is going on there but I think that they are too buzy wondering what they can get out of the town too worry about anything else. I have one question I noticed that both you and Observed are in blue on your names what does that mean? I'm just curioius.

The fact the Chief observed that some members have not maintained the required training is excellent. It shows her system of management and maintaining training records and standards is working as it should. Truth is "we" do not understand the details behind this training going out of spec and it could be nothing more than required training was last Friday and a couple people were on vacation and have to make it up. So I see it as nobody dropping the ball, it is the normal cycle of business. If the State or other third party had brought the training deficiency to light then that would be a different matter and certainly point to trouble. That doesn't appear to be the case in this instance. I think it is great Chief Cole publishes her reports, much of which is really internal information. I would like to see ALL Town departments provide a monthly or weekly update providing a public status of happenings, projects, problems, and successes. I think it's great your reading her reports and also visiting this website, keep up the interest, we need more involved residents like you.

Please see Lieutenant Elliott to get the necessary training completed. Who dropped the ball on this one? Perhaps they were busy installing address signs that us residents should be responsible for doing ourselves. I know I know, your not supposed to say anything BAD about our beloved rescue.

My husband went down the driveway this morning 7/10/09 and saw on the tree reflective numbers for our driveway. We wanted to thank the rescue squad for doing this. We wanted to get them. We really thank all that Jason and the rescue squad has done for us. I wasn’t sure where to post this and I hope Jason sees this.
