The Fire Department will offer two cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses in November, one for health care professionals and the other for the general public. You never know what you might be confronted with, even in your own family, said CPR coordinator Paul J. Correia. Heart problems don't just occur in the elderly. Instructors include certified EMTs, a registered nurse and a paramedic.
Early registration is recommended, as class sizes are limited.

This technology allows an image to be directly transferred to a computer for storage or reproduction or transmitted via the Internet. The new camera will be used for record keeping, public information reporting and helping with investigations. Digital photos can also be used to help department personnel familiarize themselves with various buildings in town, making it easier and quicker for them to locate people or objects inside.
