Firefighters Defend Ambulance Proposal

April 26, 2017 ITEM PHOTO BY OWEN O'ROURKE Members of the Nahant Fire Department: Josh Mahoney, Nick Papagelis, Lt.

“What is proposed is the creation of a fund that would take all the medical billing revenue collected by the Town of Nahant and use it specifically to offset the costs of providing the service.
