For the second weekend in a row, our crews battled a tough woods fire requiring help from our mutual aid partners.

🛑The Incidents:
- Last Week: A 3/4 acre woods fire off Strathmore Road required the assistance from Bridgewater Fire Department

- Today: While the engine and ambulance were en route to a medical call, we were dispatched to a woods fire off Union Street requiring the help from Whitman Fire / Rescue Whitman Firefighters Local 1769 Hanson Fire-Rescue Hanson Firefighters Local 2713

🌲Today's Challenges:
Access was incredibly difficult as the fire was located approximately 3/4 of a mile into the woods with rough terrain and had very tight paths for forestry trucks. Crews initially trekked in on foot and used hand tools to contain the 1 acre fire until trucks could get down the path to apply water. In total, the incident tied up crews for over 3 hours and required multiple shuttles back and forth to a hydrant for close to 2,000 gallons of water

🤝Thank you to our Mutual Aid Partners:
This was a great team effort all around. Not only for help with the fires but also thank you to Bridgewater Fire Department and Hanson Firefighters Local 2713 Hanson Fire-Rescue today for covering 2 other medicals that came in while we were working in the woods.

⚠ A Reminder to the Community:
The area burned today appeared to be a possible hangout spot for kids. With hotter and drier weather, small fires can get out of control quickly and cause catastrophic damage. Please talk to your kids about the dangers of woods fires and report any signs of smoke immediately.

🚒💪 East Bridgewater Fire's 2nd Annual Fit for Duty May 💪🚒
Throughout the month of May, members of the East Bridgewater Fire Department took part in our 2nd Annual Fit for Duty May challenge. Firefighters pushed themselves through weekly circuit training sessions while also competing to see who could achieve the greatest weight loss during the month.
The challenge was about much more than numbers on a scale. It was an opportunity for our members to improve their physical fitness, build teamwork, and strengthen the camaraderie that makes our department successful. Firefighting is a demanding profession that requires strength, endurance, and resilience, and our members demonstrated their commitment to being physically and mentally prepared when duty calls.
While balancing emergency responses, training, inspections, and the daily responsibilities of serving the Town of East Bridgewater, our firefighters continued to show up, work hard, and support one another. There were plenty of laughs, friendly competition, and encouragement along the way, making the challenge both productive and enjoyable.
We are proud of every member who participated and embraced the challenge. Their dedication to health and fitness helps ensure they are ready to provide the highest level of service to our community whenever they are needed.
Great work by everyone involved, and we look forward to continuing to build on this success in the years ahead!

Earlier today, the East Bridgewater Fire Department responded to a lawn mower accident involving an adult who was injured when a riding mower overturned near a ground level solar panel array.

Crews quickly reached the patient, provided immediate medical care, and transported him to a local trauma center.

This incident is an important reminder to stay mindful when operating lawn equipment, especially in areas with uneven terrain or obstacles.

Stay safe and always take a few extra minutes to evaluate your surroundings before getting started.

Today, members reviewed vehicle fire hose movement operations and reinforced key tactics for effective fire attack on vehicle fires. Crews practiced coordinated hose advancement and positioning while working around simulated vehicle fire conditions. Members also trained on gaining access to engine compartments and trunk areas using hydraulic tools to reach and extinguish stubborn pockets of fire that can remain hidden during suppression operations.

Training like this helps sharpen operational readiness, improve scene safety, and build confidence when operating at real-world incidents. Continuing to train on core firefighting skills ensures our members stay proficient, prepared, and ready to respond effectively when called upon.
