Duxbury Firefighters

Above suspended ceilings in high-rise buildings are hundreds of wires, cables, and services. During a fire, heat, fire spread, and suppression operations can cause these unseen systems to fail, drop, or collapse without warning.

Please see message from Chief Reardon.

Duxbury Fire is grateful to be working alongside the Massachusetts National Guard as we continue to access difficult and snow-covered areas throughout town. Their specialized vehicles and personnel help ensure we can reach residents safely and efficiently when it matters most.

Citizens, please be aware that the City has put in place an ill-advised plan during the snow emergency. They are having police officers certified as EMTs respond to medical and trauma dispatches normally handled by IAFF Local 22 paramedics and EMTs. We have no idea what equipment and experience they may have or if they even know the correct hospital to take patients to. We also believe  that State Law states that patients should be transported in certified medic units, not police vehicles. Be careful out there and stay safe.

1) Retired New Haven, CT, FD Battalion Chief Frank Ricci on training: One drill a day. The Officer participates & leads the drill. It's all about building everyone's skill level, including the Officer's. All of this strengthens the team.

@TheReconCast Was my battalion commander at 4/27 25th ID before he went to 3/75, great leader

Colonel Danny McKnight is best known as the commander of the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment during one of the most intense urban battles in modern U.S. military history—the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu. His leadership, resolve, and refusal to leave his men behind became legendary and later immortalized in the book and film Black Hawk Down. Born in Columbus, Georgia, and raised in Rockledge, Florida, McKnight commissioned into the U.S. Army in 1973 after earning his degree from Florida State University. Throughout his military career, he served in a range of leadership roles, including assignments in Airborne and Infantry units, eventually becoming one of the most respected officers in the elite Ranger Regiment. In Somalia, McKnight’s convoy was tasked with rescuing the crews of two downed Black Hawk helicopters after a mission to capture Somali militia leaders went awry. Facing relentless enemy fire, RPGs, and overwhelming odds, McKnight’s column fought through the streets of Mogadishu, repeatedly pushing forward to extract the trapped soldiers. His calm under fire and determination to reach his men became a defining moment of his career. Despite being wounded during the fight, McKnight continued to lead, embodying the Ranger Creed—never leaving a fallen comrade behind. His actions and leadership contributed greatly to saving the lives of many Rangers and Delta operators caught in the chaos of that day.

Believe Environmental Police and MSP Marine units found the missing fishing boat sunken. Divers in the water. Doesn't sound too good.

Today, Firefighters Memorial Sunday, we pause to remember the heroes we’ve lost and honor those who continue to serve. @100clubmass stands beside the firefighters who put their lives on the line every day —providing unwavering support to their families, today and always.

It’s why I call it, “the book of stories”.

@ManualOMedicine Hypothermia, Osborne J waves

A 48 y/o man is found unconscious on a park bench. He is brought to the emergency department, where an ECG is obtained. - What’s your interpretation ? #medtwitter #foamed #cardioed

@infantrydort SKED litter….doc was smart!

When I was a PV2, my team leader made us rehearse breaching C-wire before Kosovo. I asked for the breach kit. He handed me a small piece of carpet. I said, “What’s this for?” He said, “You are the breach kit.” So I jumped on the wire. They ran over my back. Wildly effective.

Face of budget cuts, Will Kelso, Duxbury born and raised will be leaving us. Due to budget cuts we are losing 2 firefighter positions one of which would have been hiring him. Our loss will be another departments gain. Will grew up at the DxFD.

Happy Public Safety Telecommunicators Week to @Roccc_911 and all the other dispatchers across the country. Thank you for all your service and dedication. ⁠ ⁠ #DXFD #nationalpublicsafetytelecommunicatorsweek #911dispatchers

Please vote yes on override today, laying off firefighters risk lives of the community and fellow firefighters! Staffing matters, call volume continues to skyrocket as resources dwindle.
