ON THIS DATE IN HISTORY

18 years ago today on July 13, 1995 – Foote Farm Fire on Rte 136 in Francestown. Very Large barn that extended into the farm house. Weather was very hot and dry. The fire started brush fires a mile away from the fire. Dispatchers on duty were Paul Szoc, Dave Whipple and Tom Redin.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to Lt. David Whipple for 26 years of dedicated service to Fire Mutual Aid. According to 911dispatch.com, the average length of service for an emergency dispatcher is 5-10 years, so we consider his length of service pretty special.
