Seekonk Fire Department Clamboil Cooked for Charity

Last Friday, the Seekonk Fire Department met up at the Seekonk Rod and Gun Club located in Rehoboth for an old-fashioned clamboil. Families, fire department personnel and friends bought tickets to support the organization that fights fires and makes rescue trips in town.

But it wasn't just a social gathering. The day raised hundreds of dollars for the Rhode Island Chapter of Pink Heals, a local organization that raises awareness regarding breast cancer.

According to Fire Department member Adam Clemins, the day went off without a hitch

"It was a really nice day...Everyone had a good time," he said.

A week before the event, tickets were sold out.

Before the festivities begun, attendees gave a moment of silence in memory Chief Alan Jack's wife, Susan, who recently passed away. Military personnel were also remembered.
