Ed, I am a volunteer at the Colonial Volunteer Fire Department. This is for the people who complained about the new van that the chief is currently driving. The chief’s last vehicle was burned up in an electrical fire. Since then he has been driving around in an 18-year-old van, that we also use for snow plowing, that was paid for by the women’s auxiliary. The chief needs to be places. The other night we were helping to put out a fire on Klockner Road. Remember it’s all volunteers. That fire house is manned 24 hours a day by volunteers. I think those people who complained are wrong.

Perhaps if the naysayers walked a mile in the chief’s shoes they’d want to drive a mile in his van. Or something like that. —Ed. Note
