East Bridgewater, MA — First responders rescued an injured tree worker stranded about 47 feet up a pine tree on Northridge Drive Wednesday morning. The man, secured in a harness, was using a chainsaw when a falling branch kicked back and broke his arm. He remained conscious but couldn’t descend.
Deputy Fire Chief Craig Winsor requested the Plymouth County Technical Rescue Team, which used a 35-foot ladder, ropes, and harnesses to reach and lower the worker safely.
He was treated on scene, taken to a landing zone, and flown by MedFlight to Tufts Medical Center. OSHA is investigating. Mutual aid was provided by Whitman, Rockland, and Bridgewater fire chiefs. East Bridgewater Police secured the scene.
“This was a real team effort,” said Fire Chief Kevin Nord. Chief Michael Jenkins added, “Great work by police, fire, and EMS in a dangerous rescue.”

Somerville, MA - Full Video showing the ICE arrest of a Tufts University student yesterday in Somerville. Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national and Ph.D. student at Tufts University, was detained by U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents near her residence in Somerville, Massachusetts, on March 25, 2025. Ozturk was reportedly on her way to meet friends to break her Ramadan fast when she was apprehended.

Massachusetts - Massachusetts State Police Fire Trooper Michael Proctor Following Misconduct Investigation. The Massachusetts State Police have terminated veteran trooper Michael Proctor for misconduct related to his role in the Karen Read investigation. Proctor, who served as the lead investigator in the case, faced a state police trial board that found him guilty on two charges: unsatisfactory performance and violating policy on alcoholic beverages. Massachusetts State Police Col. Geoffrey Noble announced his decision to accept the board’s recommendation on Wednesday. Proctor was initially relieved of duty in July 2024, shortly after Read’s first trial ended in a hung jury. He was subsequently suspended without pay. In a statement, Col. Noble emphasized that maintaining public trust requires accountability within the department and stressed that officers must uphold the agency’s core values. Proctor retains the right to appeal his termination to the Civil Service Commission.
