🧯Be attentive when using kitchen appliances.
Over the holiday weekend, a toaster oven accidentally caused a fire on the Boston Health Sciences campus. While kitchen appliances are often reliable and safe, it’s important to remember to pay attention while using them. Make sure toaster ovens and any other kitchen devices are turned OFF when not in use.🔥

The Tufts University Police Department is deeply saddened by the passing of Boston Firefighter Robert "Bobby" Kilduff, Jr., who lost his life while bravely fighting a 3-alarm fire in Dorchester.

Bobby was an exemplary firefighter and a respected Union leader, whose influence touched many. His bravery and dedication will remain in our hearts.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kilduff family and the Boston Fire Department during this challenging time.

Rest In Peace, Brother. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
