No Caption 🚨 Looking for Otis Burge III!

Charlestown Ambulance Rescue Service, October 30

🚨

Did you or someone you know live on Tomaquag Rd in the early '90s? Our rescue swimmers found a wallet, seemingly from that time, during a recent training exercise in Watchaug Pond. We’d love to get it back to its owner, Mr. Burge. Please share this post and reach out if you have any information on how we can reconnect Mr. Burge with his long-lost wallet.

Thank you!... (Full Story & Photos)
