The planned community appreciation event for the Whitefield Fire and Rescue department, scheduled for Monday, March 9, at the town’s fire station, has been cancelled.
Hosted by the Women of Whitefield, the evening was modeled after a similar event last year, which followed a difficult winter that included a Christmastime ice storm and power outages.
Devastating house fires in January and early February presented their own challenges this winter, following in rapid succession and stressing the emergency volunteers.
Event organizer Lucy Martin said this year’s celebration may be rescheduled at a later date.
