On Peace Officers Memorial Day, we honor @MassStatePolice Trooper Kevin T. Trainor, who gave the last full measure of devotion while protecting others from harm. We recognize his ultimate sacrifice, and we keep his family, loved ones, and brother & sister troopers in our hearts.

May 10-16, 2026, is Home Fire Sprinkler Week. As you can see in this splitscreen video, a single sprinkler head was the difference between "paint and paper" damage and a fire that would have spread to the rest of the home. Buying or building a home? Choose sprinklers!

The DFS Special Operations team recently delivered a Rehab unit, drone, and pilot to support #HaverhillMA FD at their mill fire last week. The drone provided aerial imagery, including thermal capabilities, while the Rehab helps support firefighter health and safety.

May 11 is #TwilightZone Day! Submitted for your approval: a 1968 #ForestFire prevention PSA narrated by the inimitable Rod Serling. The careless disposal of cigarettes and other smoking materials can easily start a fire that puts people, property, and wildlife in harm's way.

Thanks to all the mothers out there for all their love and support! Please remember that older adults are at greatest risk in the event of a fire at home. Show Mom some love: If she needs a hand installing, testing, maintaining, or replacing her alarms, offer to lend a hand.

Doing the laundry this weekend? The most common cause of dryer fires is a buildup of lint in the dryer or vent. Remember to clean the lint trap after every use and clean the ductwork at least once a year to reduce these risks!
