🚒 Another Successful Fire Prevention Week! 🔥

The Lynnfield Fire Department wrapped up another successful Fire Prevention Week!

We kicked off the week with our annual Open House, giving residents an opportunity to meet our firefighters, tour the station, explore our apparatus, and get a firsthand look at what we do to keep our community safe.

Later in the week, we had the pleasure of welcoming all second-grade students from Summer Street School, Huckleberry Hill School, and Our Lady of the Assumption School.

Throughout their visits, students learned valuable fire safety lessons through fun, interactive activities designed to help them stay safe at home and at school.

Fire prevention starts with education, and there’s no better place to begin than with our youngest residents!

A big thank you to everyone who attended, along with our local schools, teachers, and students, for helping make this year’s Fire Prevention Week such a success!

🚒 Lynnfield Fire Department — Proudly Serving Our Community!

🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET

FDNY firefighters raising the American flag at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001

Today, we pause to remember the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the extraordinary courage and sacrifice shown in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We remember the 343 FDNY firefighters, along with the law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, military members, and countless civilians who answered the call to help others.

Twenty-five years later, their courage, sacrifice, and service remain an enduring reminder of what it means to put others before ourselves.

The Lynnfield Fire Department joins our community and our nation in remembering all those we lost, those whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders who continue to suffer from illnesses related to their service at Ground Zero.

September 11, 2001 — Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Yesterday, Lynnfield Fire was called to assist Wakefield Fire Department at a six-alarm fire on Foundry Street.

The extreme heat and humidity made an already challenging operation especially difficult for firefighters. Shown are Lynnfield Firefighters Moccia and Mansfield operating from the Saugus ladder.

Strong work by all departments involved, and a great example of mutual aid and firefighters working together to protect our communities. 🚒 Photo’s courtesy of Peter Aloisi.

Many of you may notice Saugus Ladder 1 responding to emergencies throughout Lynnfield or parked at our new headquarters over the coming weeks.

Lynnfield Fire Department’s Ladder 1 has been sent out for a comprehensive refurbishment to enhance safety, improve reliability, and bring the apparatus up to current operational standards. This investment will extend the service life of the truck while saving Lynnfield taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars compared to the cost of purchasing a new aerial ladder truck.

During the refurbishment, we are grateful to the Saugus Fire Department for generously providing a replacement ladder truck to ensure uninterrupted aerial response capabilities for our community.

Our firefighters have completed extensive training on the Saugus apparatus to become familiar with its features, capabilities, and operational differences.

We sincerely thank the Saugus Fire Department for their partnership, professionalism, and support during this project. Their assistance is another outstanding example of the strong mutual aid relationships that help keep all of our communities safe.

🚒 Thank you, Saugus Fire Department!

4-Alarm House Fire at 3 Melody Lane, Lynnfield.

On Thursday May 21st Emergency crews responded to a reported gas leak with smoke showing at 3 Melody Lane.
Upon arrival, crews reported a two-story wood-frame structure, with nothing visible from the exterior. E2 Deputy Chief Mutti subsequently confirmed a working basement fire, prompting an expanded response.
Interior crews reported that the fire had extended to the first floor and a second alarm was transmitted. Shortly after the second alarm was transmitted, interior crews reported that the floor of the first floor became unstable and all members were ordered out of the building for safety reasons.
Within 5 minutes of the evacuation tones being sounded a partial collapse of the first floor into the basement occurred.
Command transmitted a 3rd alarm following the structural collapse and later upgraded the incident to a 4th alarm to support ongoing firefighting operations, staffing needs, and community coverage assignments.
Mutual aid companies from North Reading, Middleton, Wakefield, Lynnfield, Saugus, Lynn, Salem, Stoneham, Beverly, Peabody, and other surrounding communities assisted during the operation.
Atlantic Ambulance responded to the scene, and one Lynnfield firefighter was transported by ALS to Lahey Burlington at approximately 3:20 p.m. That firefighter was later released from the hospital.
Atlantic and Armstrong ambulances provided on-scene support as well as town coverage during the incident.
Rehab Five provided on firefighter rehabilitation with multiple units on scene.
Lynnfield Engine 2 remained on location for an overnight fire watch.
The structural collapse into the basement created trapped areas of fire with difficult access.
The following day, firefighters were called back to the property for a rekindle of the original fire.
The structure was deemed structurally unsafe and was ordered demolished by the town Building Commissioner. The building was demolished on Saturday.
