Residents across the region reported a loud boom at about 2pm today. According to WBZ-TV Chief Meteorologist, Eric Fisher, as reported by CBS News the cause was a meteor exploding high above Cape Cod Bay. Any Leverett resident who finds any glowing rocks, purple ooze, or a baby in a capsule should report this to the Leverett Police Department.

This is a reminder to be careful and wear full protective equipment when using potentially dangerous equipment. The owner of these boots got away lucky with a shallow wound only requiring a bunch of stitches. The chainsaw never felt a thing.

The Leverett Fire Department took delivery of a new Whaly 435R 14-foot boat today. It will be used for rescue operations on Leverett pond and surrounding lakes and waterways. We're still waiting on essential supplies, an LFD logo, and for the Leverett Elementary School students to give it a name. The boat was entirely paid for by citizen donations to the Leverett Firefighters Association. Thank you to everyone who donated!

Leverett firefighters participated in the "Charged for Danger: Understanding Lithium-Ion Battery Fires" class presented at Amherst College by Adam Barowy from the Fire Safety Research Institute in Baltimore. The class presented the science behind lithium-ion batteries, how they fail, and how different devices behave when the batteries inside them catch fire. We discussed everything from cell phones to e-bikes, electric cars, and power walls. Lessons learned will result in new and updated firefighting tactics brought back to Leverett.
