Members from Oakham Fire, Barre Fire, Petersham Fire, Barre Police, North Brookfield Police and the Massachusetts State Police completed the 2 Day 16 hour Active Attack Integrated Response program. This class offered by MADFS and the MPTC teaches Law Enforcement and Fire Fighters how to respond to and mitigate an active shooter or hostile event at different types of venues. These members trained together over the last 2 days to be better prepared to protect the communities they serve. With this class we now have almost all Oakham Firefighters trained in this new Standard.

With funding from the Department of Fire Services equipment grant a full gym was purchased and installed at the fire station. Tonight members worked out using the Mass Fire Academy recruit fitness program. The town spends thousands of dollars on equipment testing, hose testing and gear. We are now focusing on the most important resource, our members. Our goal is to keep the members in the same or better shape than the equipment.

It is with deep regret that Local S-2 announces the passing of Firefighter Tom Berninger (Retired), after a courageous battle with ALS. Our thoughts and prayers are with Toms family during this difficult time.
