Wrentham Fire Department Welcomes New Members, Tech

The Wrentham Fire Department displayed both new members and new technology at the town Board of Selectmen meeting Tuesday night.

Wrentham Fire Chief James McMorrow introduced the board to new firefighters Patrick Rockett, Joseph Cuddihy and Patrick McMorrow. He said two of the department's new members were approved at last fall's town meeting.

"We've appointed Patrick Rockett, a local resident, as a full-time firefighter," he said. "Our second hire was Joseph Cuddihy, another local resident. He was attached to the Foxborough Fire Department, and we're glad he chose Wrentham over Foxborough."

The firefighters received badges, and shook hands with the board members.

McMorrow also showcased new cameras and radios for the department.

"We're in the final phases of a grant we received last year — it's state-of-the-art technology," he said. "This equipment will make our lives a lot safer and easier."

Selectman Chairman Stephen Langley praised the work done by the department.

"Our thanks to you and all the members who helped get these grants done," he said.
