On Halloween we held our open annual open house. The event was organized by Firefighter Robert Perkins. Candy cookies and juice were provided for trick or treater's who stopped by the station. Glow necklaces were given out and there was a moon bounce for the younger kids as well. A special thanks to ShopRite of Clinton for donating the snacks and candy! On Monday evening CFD conducted the November department meeting. Steve Seguine and Rich Duffy were admitted to the department as Active Firefighters. Firefighter Seguine is the latest Junior Firefighter to advance to active membership. We welcome them both to the department. CFD responded to 5 calls during this period and a summary follows.
