Three Tones For New Milford Township
By Melinda Darrow

At the April New Milford Township meeting, the supervisors had assured a visitor speaking on behalf of the South New Milford Baptist church that they would look into the church’s request for Harford to be established as first response for medical emergencies on its site. The supervisors had done as they said they would, and Columbia Hose Company chief Dwayne Conklin attended the May 20th meeting to explain how dispatching functioned. He and another person present sought to assure the public that coverage is sufficient. When a call is made, a tone is sounded three times at three minute intervals. If no one hears from New Milford when the third tone is sounded, the next nearest company is automatically contacted. In addition to this, oftentimes the Montrose Minutemen are dispatched at the same time as New Milford.
