Firefighters in Dartmouth and Fairhaven have expressed frustration over what they say is New Bedford s over-reliance on the mutual aid agreement the city has with the towns. Mayor Jon Mitchell says the firefighters are only trying to help their counterparts in New Bedford to negotiate a new contract. ....
