MILFORD, Mass. —The federal government intercepted a shipment of protective gowns ordered by Milford for the Fire Department and local hospital, according to Fire Chief William Touhey Jr.
“We recently … made a purchase of a number of masks and gowns, and unfortunately the federal government got to our distributor prior to our order being shipped,” Touhey told selectmen this week, “and, unfortunately, none of the items that we had ordered will be coming directly to us.”
