With over 45 firefighters on the department roster this is extremely disappointing to me. With all of the work and effort that goes into conducting one of these exercises, we need a much better commitment from the group as a whole. If you do not respond back to me by 10:00 am on Tuesday 5/12, I will be releasing the available spots to our mutual aid towns who have expressed an interest in attending. I would like to get as many Holden members there but I will find other interested firefighters to ensure that the small amount of our firefighters who want to take part get the best experience possible.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>C4<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>Russ Hall<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>Assistant Chief<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>Holden Fire Dept.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>1370 Main Street<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>Holden, MA 01520<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Californian FB","serif"'>508-210-5650<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
