An FPO operating at the Snow Flake Parade in Jewett City (Griswold) was the victim of a hit and run incident last night.

The FPO was transported to Backus Hospital in Norwich, and reportedly treated for minor injuries. The FPO was one of two members of JCFD injured in separate incidents last night. Both are home recovering.

Stay safe everyone.

UPDATE:

Both members are home recovering now. Thank you to everyone for your support.
