Members of the Village of Newcomerstown Fire Department, Police Department, Tri- County Joint Ambulance Service and their families all joined together for a Christmas Party on Saturday, Dec. 9. Fellowship was enjoyed between the three departments, and village government.

Awards were given to team members, and it was announced that Steve Carney, employed by Tri-County as well as being a volunteer fire fighter for the village, has passed his National Registry testing and is now a Paramedic. This was the first year for the joint event, and plans are to continue the tradition.
