LUDLOW — The Ludlow Fire Department announces that fees for services will be increasing effective April 1.
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved an adjustment of Department fees for the first time since 2005 during its March 19 meeting.
Most of the fees will now be $50.
Fire Chief Ryan Pease requested that selectmen approve the increases.
“You can imagine how, after 20 years, the fees just didn’t properly represent the effort anymore,” said Chief Pease. “We kept the fees as long as we possibly could. It was just time to make this adjustment, bringing us near the average for our area.”
Chief Pease stated, “Fees are an important compensation factor when we look at our department’s overall services. We all know costs have gone up and will continue to do so. This step was necessary to keep these permitting services financially viable.”
The new fees go into effect on Apr. 1, 2024.
An updated table of service fees levied by the Ludlow Fire Department is attached.
