ENFIELD —Town officials and volunteer
firefighters reached a tentative agreement
Wednesday night in a dispute over next year's
fire protection contract for the Town of En-
field.
Town board members unanimously ap-
proved a 1985 contract that would give the
volunteer fire company $54,470 for its work
next year. Firefighters said the proposed con-
tract must be reviewed by their legal counsel
before they would to sign it.
"We can't sign anything until we see a con-
tract. We have not received any copy of any
contract from the town," Enfield firefighter
Jeff Brainard said.
With the existing fire contract scheduled to
expire Monday night, firefighters complained
this week that they had not received any pro-
posals from the town board. Brainard, a
spokesman for the volunteers, warned that
the Enfield firefighters would stop answering
alarms on Jan. 1 if they did not have a signed
contract.
