At approximately 7:30am we received calls for a structure fire on Kimball Road. With a mix of Group 3 & 4 members, due to shift change, the fire was extinguished. Deputy D. Tardif was the Incident Commander for the Working Fire incident.

No injuries were reported, and the origin and cause remain under investigation.

We thank our mutual aid partners from Cambridge, Newton, and Waltham for providing coverage to the city during the incident.

Shoveling the fire hydrant nearest to your home will help the Fire Department so they have fewer hydrants to clear.

If you do shovel your local hydrant, thank you!

Please feel free to send photos of your shoveled hydrant, with a selfie or just the hydrant, if you wouldl like us to share it on our social media as a public thank you. Email your photos to [email protected]. Please also send us the location of the hydrant so we can tell the Fire Department. We will not share the location or your name on social. Just your photo.
