To the Editor:

The Norwood Fire Department would like to send a big thank you to the following supporters of our annual coin card drive.

Through your generous donations the fire department was able to obtain a much needed Thermal Imaging Camera.

This high-tech device helps speed tactical decisions and the search for survivors.

We have called in neighboring Fire Departments over 15 times in the last year or so to take advantage of their cameras. Finding an unseen hot spot in a wall makes us better fire fighters.

Thank you for helping us to serve you better: Norwood Brass Firemen, Joe Dufore, John & Joyce Obrian, David St.Pier, Michael Hicks, John & Sharon Misiak, Chuck Morgan, Louise Pierce, Fred LaPlante, Harold Raymonda, Joe Swan, Sharon Hicks, Christine Mariano, Donald Gonyea, Sharon Cotey, James Cotey, Mary & Dean Murray, Patricia LaRose, Brian Stanka, Vicki Templeton-Cornell, Mike Knowlton, Carol & Terry Gladding, Mary Thomas, Joe & Joan Regan, Michael Cotey, Mary & Bill Grant, Dorothy Fullerton, Janice & Jamie Crowe, Rod & Lois Wolstenholme, Ken & Betsy Ashley, Noreen Hopsicker, Loretta Carkner, Michael & Bette Orologio, Frank Hess, JC Merriman, James Fullerton, Diane Gravelin, Georgia Wyatt, Louise & Don Speer, Richard & Janice Lashomb, Leslie & James Sutter, Roderick Martin, Arloene Morgan, Ed & Joyce McNamara,, Michael & Marela Fiacco , Tim & Reta Donahue, Vernin & Lorraine Bartlett, Dan & Louise LaPlante, Carolyn & Lyn Gibson, Dr. Lisa Wilson, Steve & Kathleen Hartman, Terry Steinburg, Rosalyn Hinkley, Tom Fiacco, LEAP, Inc., Mary Jones, Robin & Brian Wilkinson, Colleen Chapin and Helen Gaffney, Gordon & Janice McDonald, Laurell Brault, and Gretchen & John Fullerton.
