**Happy Thanksgiving from Paxton Fire Department Local 5099!**

As we gather with loved ones to enjoy this special day, we want to express our gratitude for the wonderful community we serve. We are thankful for your support and trust throughout the year.

**Thanksgiving Fire Safety Tip:** Did you know that Thanksgiving is the leading day for home cooking fires? If you're cooking today, stay in the kitchen while using the stovetop, and never leave frying or broiling food unattended. If you're using a turkey fryer, always do so outdoors on a sturdy, level surface, away from anything that can catch fire.

Stay safe, enjoy your holiday, and know we're here for you whenever you need us!

Proud to Serve and Support Our Community 🇺🇸

Today, the Paxton Fire Dept. and the Paxton Professional Firefighters Association Local 5009 had the honor of assisting our brothers and sisters at the Town of Leicesterma Fire in displaying the American flag for the Combat Vets MA Motorcycle Ride. It was a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by our veterans and a privilege to be part of such a meaningful event.

But that’s not all! We also had the pleasure of supporting some of our youngest entrepreneurs at a local lemonade stand. These kids are the future of our community, and we’re proud to encourage their spirit and determination.

From honoring our heroes to uplifting our local youth, we're committed to serving our community in every way we can. Thank you, Paxton, for allowing us to be part of these special moments!

🚨🚨The Special Town Election is TODAY from 10:00am-8:00pm at the Paxton Center School Gymnasium.🚨🚨

Your vote counts to protect your town services.

06/24/2024

Both A1 and A2 are currently at UMass Memorial Medical Center and off to a busy start this morning. Both units were dispatched to separate medical calls within minutes of each other. The first call was handled by the on-duty group, and the second was handled by an on-call firefighter/EMT and an off duty firefighter paramedic.

🔔 Reminder: Monday, June 24th is the election in which voters will vote for the proposed override. Following that, town meeting is Thursday, June 27th. 🔔

Please remember that it is encouraged to vote in the election AND attend town meeting to ensure that your voice is heard at both the ballot and the town meeting floor.

Override fact:

The current proposed $950,000 override has a tax impact of $555.41 per year (which equals $46.28 per month, or $1.52 per day) on the current tax bill of a average assessed home in Paxton (the average assessed value is $459,020). The per day tax impact is less than a small coffee from Dunkin’s (current price of a small hot coffee is $2.35).
