Dalton Fire District Voters Approve Purchase of Ambulance

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — During the special meeting on Tuesday, Fire District voters approved borrowing up to $350,000 for the purchase of a new ambulance and any related costs. 
 
Approximately 27 voters attended the meeting at the Stationary Factory, which lasted less than 10 minutes. 
 
The only article on the warrant overwhelmingly passed with only one voter against it. 
 
The no vote came from Tom Betit, who expressed his concern regarding the financial decisions and actions taken by the Fire District. 
 
He requested the status of the "imaginary ladder truck" and was directed by the moderator to reach out to the district following the meeting because the topic was unrelated to the warrant article. 
 
He also accused the district of "giving away trucks." 
 
"Most recently, [former chief James Peltier] gave away a $50,000 truck to the town of Bolton," Betit said.
