West Newbury Police and Fire Departments
Fire Chief Michael Dwyer and Police Chief Jeffrey Durand would like to share guidelines and tips in regard to accessing help in the midst of an emergency during National 911 Education Month.
According to the National Emergency Number Association, approximately 240 million calls are made to 911 each year in the U.S. 911 Education Month is recognized across the country to conduct outreach and educate community members on 911 resources and practices. As first responders, we are prepared to respond at any time to any emergency, Dwyer said. The information we get from the initial 911 call is instrumental in ensuring we can get to the scene as quickly as we can. We encourage residents to always remember to share their exact location early on if they ever need to call 911.

No injuries were reported following a four-alarm fire Saturday afternoon at a single-family home in West Newbury.
West Newbury Fire Chief Michael Dwyer said residents of the home at 2 Reeds Lane were able to safely escape prior to firefighters’ arrival. Damage to the home, however, displaced the family. Firefighters were initially dispatched at about 12:15 p.m. for a report of a lawnmower fire near the home. Upon arrival, firefighters found heavy smoke and flames fully engulfing the side of the home and an attached deck.
