On November 3rd, we got to celebrate with the new employees of the Derry Fire Department! The Derry Fire Recognition Ceremony welcomed 10 new recruits and celebrated 6 promotions of outstanding members. However with every new welcome, thereโs always a goodbye. Retired Fire Chief Michael Gagnon was among those celebrated for their years of service coming to a close with their retirement.
