• Fire chief's exit raises questions about future of Hatfield emergency services (gazettenet.com) — Whately residents may soon see their fire department more involved in covering emergencies next door in Hatfield, which is rethinking how it provides fire and ambulance service after its chief announced his departure. Hatfield officials are weighing costly regional ambulance contracts, possible fee-per-call responses from Whately, and broader regionalization, while also preparing for the town’s longtime police chief to retire in 2026.
