We remember the life of Chief Abraham Pitre, who we lost 9 years ago on June 17, 2017. Abe will always be missed. Please have him in your prayers when you think of all the good times and positive things he was always involved with as he continues to watch down over us 🙏🏻

On 5/28/26 at 1315 hours, the PAFD was dispatched to the 400 block of Sayre Ave for a reported fire. As units pulled out of the bays, smoke was seen coming from a house within a block of fire headquarters. Arriving within a minute, crews were able to quickly stretch two hoselines to contain and extinguish the fire which had extended to the first and second floors. Searches were conducted while extensive overhaul was completed. The fire appears to have originated in the back of the home where an E-Mobility device was found. Middlesex County Hazmat responded to the scene to safely overpack the damaged Lithium-Ion batteries. There were no injuries and the residents were assisted by City Relocation Officers. City units on scene were E-1, E-2, E-3, T-2, R-1, C-1, C-2, C-4 & C-5. E-4 covered the city during the incident.
