FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT

I just want to take a moment and acknowledge the members of the North Attleboro Fire Department, Mutual Aid Departments and our Public Safety Dispatchers. On Monday Engine 1 with 3 Firefighters, Engine 3 with 2 Firefighters, Ladder 1 with 3 Firefighters and the Shift Commander were dispatched to Juniper Rd for a reported fire in an air conditioner. Firefighters arrived to find fire showing. 1st due Engine 1 made entry, forced the apartment door and encountered heavy black smoke, heat and fire conditions. Simultaneously Engine 3 secured a water supply, Ladder 1 performed primary searches and vented the roof. At this point both ambulances were responding from the hospital as they were committed on other calls for service. First arriving firefighters battled extraordinary fire conditions until the arrival of mutual aid who provided additional water supply, hand lines, master streams and assistance with searches of this large apartment complex. This is just a quick snapshot of the responsibilities of the first arriving firefighters. A fire doubles in size every 30-60 seconds and conditions change rapidly which happened at this fire. I commend our first arriving firefighters and our off duty members who were in the area and provided assistance getting handlines in place and conducted an aggressive interior attack with no injuries.

Our Public Safety Dispatchers navigated multiple radio channels, conducted PAR checks when the firefighters were ordered to evacuate the building, worked with the regional mutual aid dispatch, handled multiple mutual aid departments both responding to and covering the Town and navigated multiple other calls for service.

Thank you to all. Keep up the great work.

(UPDATE 5 - 2:45 PM TUESDAY, MAY 12) FIRE INVESTIGATION & BUILDING UPDATE PRESS RELEASE

Fire Chief Christopher Coleman reports that an air conditioning unit was the cause of the 7-alarm at 30 Juniper Road on Monday afternoon.

At this time, the structural engineer and building inspector have determined that the ceilings in each unit must be removed, and that all debris must be removed from inside and around the building prior to residents' being allowed to safely enter the building to retrieve their personal items.

Once the building is cleared, the fire department, along with building management, will schedule a day for all residents to return and retrieve their belongings. The exact timing of this will be based on the complex’s building numbers and will be coordinated through the building’s management company.
