🚒 Join the Harwich Fire Department tomorrow, June 16th from 9-11am to congratulate Lt. Scott Tyldesley on his retirement! Thank you for your dedicated service to our community for over 20 years!

Congratulations Lieutenant Tyldesley......

Today is the last working day for Lieutenant Scott Tyldesley, and tomorrow we will celebrate his retirement with a last day coffee at Fire Headquarters.

Scott completes a 20 year career as a full time firefighter and Lieutenant, and also served as a call firefighter in the mid-80's. He currently is the head of the Harwich dive team and serves as part of the leadership for the Barnstable County Regional Dive team. He is also the head of the Harwich Boats operators.

Scott is what we call a legacy, with his father serving Harwich as a firefighter and Captain until his retirement in 1994.

Please come join us tomorrow, June 16th, from 9 to 11, say hi to Scott and wish him well as he starts out on his next chapter.

🚨Important Notice for our area! See below for tips on preventing tick bites and illness

Peak tick season is here — and it's no joke.

Right now, in mid-June, we are in one of the worst windows of the year for tick bites and tick-borne illness transmission. July 4th is historically when the most people report their first symptoms — which means the clock is ticking (pun intended).

We've been seeing a lot of Lyme Disease, but Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, and Alpha-Gal Syndrome (yes, the red meat allergy) all on the rise on Cape Cod.

The photo below was taken in Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard. The lighter brown ticks are Lone Star Ticks, which have exploded on the island and are increasingly being found across Cape Cod. The darker brown ticks are Deer Ticks — and with this year's humid weather, they are having a field day.

Scary picture? Yes. But here's the good news: tick-borne illnesses are completely preventable. Visit our website for tips and resources (link in comments)!
