Just before midnight, our department was dispatched as auto aid to Danvers for a multi-structure fire.

E135, Ambulance 3N37, Tanker 133, and Utility 131 responded to the scene and assisted with initial victim triage, treatment and transport, as well as fire suppression operations.

This was a very difficult and challenging scene. We want to recognize and commend the firefighters and EMTs from all of the departments involved for their professionalism, teamwork, and dedication throughout the incident. Everyone worked together to accomplish the mission and care for those affected.

Our Stanford units remained on scene for several hours before being released shortly after 5:00 AM.

We are proud of the men and women who answered the call in the middle of the night and did an exceptional job under very difficult circumstances.

Great work by everyone involved!

Our members spent last night training on victim search and removal in low-visibility conditions using training smoke.

Crews worked on the skills and techniques needed to safely locate, and remove victims when visibility is severely limited. Training in these conditions helps our firefighters prepare for the challenges they may face during an actual structure fire.

Great work by everyone who participated and continues to put in the time to stay prepared for our community!

Stay safe!
