On the Job
A month into her job as a new firefighter Katelynn Richard is completely happy with her decision to leave the world of masonry and go into firefighting. She is one of the newest members of the Putnam Fire Department. “I wanted to try something new,” she said. Thus far she’s trained with pulling hose and spraying water and a host of other duties. And she’s there when a fire alarm is struck at 5 a.m. “I love it. I like making sure people are safe,” she said. Linda Lemmon photo.
