DEPARTMENT NEWS


RETIREMENT
41 Year member and former Captain Bennett Dottridge has retired as of Oct. 31, 2001.  A retirement party was held on Dec. 1, 2001 for Bennie who has been a very active member of the call department up until his retirement.  He served in various capacities including at the ranks of Captain and Deputy Chief. Best wishes to him and his family in the years to come.

Cotuit Fire Department 2001 Runs
Cotuit responded to 629 incidents in 2001, a drop of 13 runs from 2000.  This represents an average of 1.7 incidents per day.

The Cotuit FD will now be dispatched on the COMM FD Fire Alarm channel.
Centerville has dispatched Cotuit for decades, but Cotuit operated on its own
frequency (33.56) and channel on the 800 trunk system.  In an effort to simplify
dispatch and improve on communications, both COMM and Cotuit will be on
the same fire alarm channel... 33.84 and talkgroup 37424.  Cotuit tones will
still go out on the 33.56 pagers and the channel will still be available.
This will be in effect May 18, 2005 for at least a 3 month trial period.
