The Enfield Fire Department Cadets thank their supporters and the community

The Enfield Fire Department Junior Firefighter (Cadet) Program recently held its 12th annual pasta supper which was a tremendous success thanks in large part to the generosity of dozens of donors from throughout the region and the gracious support of the community. For twelve years the Enfield Fire Department Junior Firefighters (Cadets) have organized the annual pasta supper to raise funds for the all volunteer youth program which trains youths as firefighters. This year’s event raised in excess of $2,800 towards funds used for tools, equipment, uniforms and program operating costss.
