New Norton Fire Captain Sworn in

Alvan T. Fuller was sworn in at a Board of Selectmen meeting Thursday.

Alvan T. Fuller was joined by his family and other firefighters Thursday night when he was sworn in as a new captain in the Norton Fire Department.

Fuller was officially promoted to captain in July but Thursday's Board of Selectmen meeting made it official.

Fire Chief Paul Schleicher said Fuller was an "excellent mechanic," and has already led a crew in a few fires over the summer.

"[He] already caught himself a couple of working fires and he handled himself and his department admirably," Schleicher said.
