JACKSON — Barring a citizen petition drive, a fire station bond will not be on this year's town warrant following a 2-1 vote by Jackson selectmen Tuesday.
Voting against placing a fire station bond article on the warrant were John Allen and Frank DiFruscio, while selectmen's chair Barbara Campbell voted in favor.
