The town of Bridgewater has a new fire chief. Michael Nauss was elected Monday night by acclamation to take over the position from Wayne Thorburne, who stepped down because he was elected to town council. Nauss, who has served the last eight years as Deputy Chief, says Thorburne is irreplaceable.
Nauss says its nice to know the department's membership believe he's the best choice to serve as chief. Andy Wentzell will serve as Bridgewater's deputy fire chief.
