WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A busy week for the town's Fire Department gets underway on Tuesday evening.

 

The annual Fire District elections and district meeting are scheduled for that night in the Williamstown Elementary School gymnasium.

 

The week will wrap up with a dedication and open house at the district's new fire station on Main Street.

 

Polls for the election are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. and will be closed at 7 to allow for returns to be counted prior to the start of the annual meeting at 7:30.

 

There are two positions on the ballot this spring: a three-year term on the Prudential Committee and a three-year term for moderator.

 

Incumbent Moderator Paul Harsch is the only person running for his position. Michael Noyes is the lone candidate for the Prudential Committee seat currently held by longtime member John Notsley.

 

The Prudential Committee, analogous to the Select Board at town hall, manages the fire service and supervises its one full-time employee, the fire chief.
