🐎 HORSE RESCUE 🚨

Today Norfolk Firefighters assisted with helping free a horse that was wedged between two fences, and was unable to move. A full recall was transmitted bringing the response of C2, Engine 2, Ambulance 3, and Rescue 5.

Firefighters assisted by cutting the fence with the use of hydraulic cutters. Once the horse was freed, fire hose was used to help lift the horse from the ground. This successful outcome wouldn’t have been possible without multi-agency teamwork.

🚒 🏠 TRAINING 🪓 🚒

Today, Norfolk Firefighters conducted training evolutions at an acquired structure scheduled for demolition. We would like to thank Mark Andrade for generously allowing our department to use the property for valuable hands-on training prior to demolition.

During the training, firefighters practiced ground ladder and roof ladder deployment, roof ventilation operations using saws, and forcible entry techniques.

Training opportunities like this are invaluable in helping our firefighters sharpen critical skills and remain prepared to serve and protect the community. We sincerely appreciate Marks support of the Norfolk Fire Department.

🚑 Motor Vehicle Crash 🚗
🚒 Water Leak 🚨

After the structure fire yesterday, Norfolk Fire responded to two separate notable incidents later in the shift.

A serious head on motor vehicle collision occurred on Pine St. One of the occupants required the use of hydraulic spreaders to be removed from the vehicle. This resulted in an Advanced Life Support transport Boston Medical Trauma Center. Pictured below is Norfolk Ambulance 1 parked at the ambulance bay.

Firefighters were dispatched to the library for an alarm activation.
