Four new firefighters were officially sworn into duty March 20 at city hall. Officials said the swearing in process is a time to celebrate department accomplishments, but more importantly a process that empowers the department members. This was an informal process, officials said, and a more formal oath taking and introduction will take place at a later date. Joining the department were, from left, Firefighter Brett Rideout; Firefighter Malani Arnold; Firefighter Owen Clary and Firefighter Anthony Pegouskie.
