Precinct votes to join HFD
HAVERHIL CORNER—At their annual meeting held on March 17, Haverhill Corner Precinct voters decided to relinquish their fire department and join the Haverhill Fire Department.
The decision came one year after the precinct’s residents initially voted 45-6 against joining the new municipal department. At the time, according to meeting minutes, many residents said they were not opposed to a town department but that many questions remained unsettled.
In an interview, Haverhill Corner Fire Chief Richard Morris said precinct residents were concerned that they would lose their fire station and name. Now it looks like that will not be the case, although Morris said there are still a lot of details to nail down.
