We were happy to welcome New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte to Bedford today!
Governor Ayotte spent time speaking with members of the Bedford Fire Department about some of the challenges facing today’s fire service, including electric vehicle fires, PFAS-free turnout gear, and firefighter health and wellness. She also had an opportunity to speak with members of the Bedford NH Police Department about issues important to law enforcement and our community.
Of course, we couldn’t let her leave without checking out our newest fire truck! Governor Ayotte got a firsthand look at Engine 2, including a ride in Bedford’s newest apparatus.
We appreciate Governor Ayotte taking the time to visit, ask questions, and talk with our public safety personnel.
With today being September 11th, the visit also provided an opportunity to reflect on the dedication and sacrifice of first responders and to remember all those we lost 25 years ago.
Thank you for stopping by, Governor! 🇺🇸
