She has quickly shown that she is a team player and someone who genuinely wants to contribute to the success of the center. Her positive attitude, work ethic, and commitment to doing the job well have not gone unnoticed.

It is always great to see a newer employee embrace the training process and take ownership of their development, and Rachel has done exactly that. She continues to grow in her role each day and has already proven to be a valuable asset to the HRECC team.

🚒Investing in Safety Through Regional Partnership

Thanks to regional 911 grant funding, the East Bridgewater Fire Department has received new multi-band portable radios that will significantly improve communications for our firefighters.

Reliable communication is one of the most important tools we carry. These radios allow our members to communicate seamlessly with other emergency responders and mutual aid partners, helping ensure a coordinated response when seconds count.

We're thankful for the funding that made this upgrade possible and proud to continue investing in the safety of our firefighters and the community we serve.
