Warehouse Point Fire District seats Mack, elects Nordell and Holden

EAST WINDSOR - The Warehouse Point Fire District Board of Fire Commissioners on Nov. 2 accepted the resignation of Commissioner John Burnham, appointed Michael Mack to serve until May 2027, and elected Charlie Nordell as chairman and Austin Holden as vice chairman, according to the board's action minutes.

Acting Chairman Nordell called the meeting to order at Station 1. Commissioners present were Nordell, Charlie Miller, Holden and Kevin Clynch; Scott Tripp was absent. Holden swore Mack in during the meeting. The board also approved its 2027 schedule of meetings, the treasurer's report, October minutes and check log, and the fire marshal's and fire chief's reports, the action minutes say. Votes on those items are recorded as all in favor.

Chief James Barton's report said Squad 2 repairs at Divino Company in Middletown are projected to run almost $50,000 over budget and should be finished this month. The district recorded 91 incidents in the reporting period, including 47 EMS calls, the minutes say. The board discussed issuing a request for proposals for legal services after the district's attorney retired.
