DEDHAM, MA Dedham firefighters are part of the latest class of graduates from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy s fifty-day Career Recruit Firefighting Training Program.
Dedham was one of 10 fire departments with graduates in the program. This class had 20 graduates. First responders are on the front lines protecting their communities and these newest firefighters are needed now more than ever. We have taken advantage of technology, reduced class size for social distancing, implemented daily screening, and required mask-wearing to keep our instructors and students as safe as possible during these uncertain times, said Deputy State Fire Marshal Maribel Fournier.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. The two halves of the daytime warming shelter at the Christian Center arrived this week and the hope is to have the shelter up and running by Monday.. The shelter is a 24-by-60 foot trailer similar to the ones used as temporary classrooms by school districts will offer housing insecure folks a warm place to reside in the hours that ServiceNet s shelter at the former St. Joseph s High School is closed. St. Joe s shelter is open 24 hours on the weekend but closes from 8 to 4 on weekdays with the exception of days when the temperature is below 20 degrees. The warming shelter will be open from 9 to 3 on weekdays providing lunches to guests while ServiceNet staffs the operation.
