This is beyond unacceptable. Staffing your call center with people who are not trained to work in there is a recipe for disaster.
Falmouth firefighters are sounding the alarm about what they say is a hazard to public safety. on.nbcboston.com/Yg7puPG

Right around 2:30 this afternoon, @MelroseFF and @MelrosePolice responded with @MassStatePolice to the area of the Fellsway at Warwick Road for a single car MVA. The vehicle was turned around facing the wrong way and luckily, no injuries on scene. #breaking #TMGormanPhotography #Melrose

When the weather gets ugly (like it is today), it's important to know who to call for help. @nationalgridMA @MelroseDPW @MelroseFF @MelrosePolice cityofmelrose.org/home/news/…

Tuesday, I welcomed @Melrose_FD Chief Collina, @WakefieldFD Chief Sullivan, & @maldenfire Chief Froio to State House for MetroFire Legislative Breakfast. It was a great opportunity to chat with #32Middlesex Chiefs about shared priorities to better serve our communities. #mapoli

Industry has long been aware of #PFAS hazards, yet continues to use these toxic chemicals. #Firefighters are needlessly exposed every time they don their turnout gear. Hear from IAFF's Health & Safety Director Sean DeCrane: 🔗 brnw.ch/21wEWSQ
