[5 AM Update] Quick-hitting winter storm brings accumulating snow to much of the region today. Rain to start across the South Coast & eastern MA before transitioning to snow. Snowfall may be heavy at times & cause hazardous travel. Storm ends this evening. #mawx #riwx #ctwx

We've officially upgraded the winter storm watch to a winter storm warning. Confidence has grown that the rain/snow line will be far enough south to allow snowfall amounts of a foot or more for portions of eastern MA and Rhode Island. Coastal Flood watch in effect as well.

When first turning on the heat for the season, #furnaces are more likely to malfunction and produce carbon monoxide. You'll never know it unless you have working #COAlarms. Protect the ones you love! ow.ly/ur1950BWNQh #KeepWarmKeepSafe

We are saddened to hear of the passing of former WFD Chief Dennis Budd. Over his 28 year career, Chief Budd showed strong leadership and led WFD during the Cold Storage fire.
We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Rest In Peace, Chief. – at Worcester, MA

Amazed at how Dr. Jones gives his heart and soul to our school and students everyday. His desire to do what’s best for our kids always comes first. That graduation parade was just one example. I don’t think any of us will ever forget that day. Thanks Dr. J!!

Sad state of affairs when I have received 100% of the PPE for my responders from Home Depot, Lowe's, local hardware stores, paint suppliers & local contractors. Feds & state continue to boast about a stockpile of PPE, yet it's been 2 weeks & I don't know one Chief who's seen it.

Please be vigilant of potential scammers posing as bill collectors. Recently there has been an increased volume of reported scam attempts targeting our customers by phone - with some numbers even appearing to come from National Grid.

Quitting smoking is also fire prevention! We've had 5 fire deaths so far in 2020 and smoking was the cause of 3 of them. @MassDPH @CDCTobaccoFree

A dry tree is dangerous. We recently had a fire (not caused by the tree) where a dry tree helped to spread the fire more rapidly. Yesterday was #12thNight, so now it is definitely time to get rid of your #ChristmasTree, here's how: ow.ly/2PDO50xLUZe

The January #DFSBriefs reminds fire departments that open burning season starts this month (in communities where it is allowed). DFS has educational materials for the community. Encourage folks to burn while there's snow on the ground. ow.ly/Nd2Q50xLNQm
