Tiverton Fire Department

Over the weekend, there was a serious fire in the north end of town, which could have easily led to a loss of one or more lives. Our fire department is severely undermanned to begin with, and now we have a poster Joe S., who claims to be a member of the budget committee, advocating for cutting manpower in the fire department by contracting the town's emergency medical service with a for profit private ambulance company. This idea is irrational, dangerous, and jeapordizes the health and safety of all our town's residents and visitors.
