“We’ve got great equipment, great facilities, and a great tradition of providing service to our community,” Milton Fire Chief John E. Reble said.

“Throughout the nation, it is hard to find firefighters lately, and so we’ve got to stay competitive, and this increase will bring us there,” Reble said…
