CONWAY — Selectmen and the Red Jacket Mountain Resort both plan to show their appreciation to the many firefighters and first responders who answered the call for aid during last month’s blaze.

The fire broke out on April 30. The cause has not been determined.  Since the fire, authorities have said that sprinklers were not required in the 1971-built south wing due to its age and design.
