Selectman Alan Slavin proposed a zero quorum for future Wareham Fire District meetings.
In stark contrast with the lengthy and controversial Special Town Meeting on April 10, voters at the Wareham Fire District’s annual meeting approved nearly everything on the docket without much discussion or any objection during a speedy 40-minute meeting Monday, April 12.
Despite the chilly, overcast evening, 61 voters gathered at 6 p.m. for the drive-in style district meeting, which was held in the Wareham High School parking lot.

State Sen. Marc Pacheco announced the grants on April 2, which will be split among Marion, Wareham, Raynham Berkley, Carver and Dighton.
“I am very pleased that local fire departments in Berkley, Carver, Dighton, Marion, Raynham, and Wareham will be receiving over $75,000 to help keep firefighters safe in the line of duty,” Pacheco said. “During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, firefighters and first responders have worked incredibly hard to help protect the residents of the local communities I represent. The critical resources awarded today will help do the same for local firefighters and emergency personnel by providing them with safer, more effective equipment in the line of duty.”
