The Pelham Fire Department recently participated in a two-day Search and Rescue Drone Training held in Springfield. The advanced course brought together Fire and Police personnel from across the region to strengthen their public safety drone operations and coordination skills.

The training included both classroom instruction and hands-on flight exercises, giving participants the opportunity to develop and refine practical UAS skills in realistic scenarios.

We would like to thank Public Safety UAS for conducting this valuable training opportunity in our region as well as Springfield Police for hosting.

On Wednesday, April 15, Captain Hall participated in a group ride led by the Department of Conservation and Recreation to learn safe operation and familiarization of ATVs and UTVs. These off‑road vehicles are commonly used by fire and police departments to access remote areas for fires, rescues, and searches for missing or injured persons. While invaluable for public safety, ATVs and UTVs can be dangerous if not used properly. As with any firefighting tool, training in non‑emergency conditions improves safety and effectiveness during real incidents.

At approximately 4:40 AM, the Pelham Fire Department was called to a structure fire at a residence located on Gulf Road. Fire units from Belchertown and Amherst, en route back from a fire in Sunderland, provided automatic mutual aid. Pelham Fire Department personnel found the fire extinguished upon arrival, with smoke still present in the residence. The investigation into the incident concluded that improper disposal of smoking materials was the cause. The Pelham Fire Department advises residents to check smoke detectors regularly and use caution with smoking materials.

Thank you to Belchertown Fire, Amherst Fire and Northampton Control Dispatchers.
