Last night, Hanson Fire was pushed to capacity when two high-priority incidents occurred at the exact same time:

Spring Street - Fire Conditions
Squad 4 arrived at a reported outside fire that quickly escalated into a large-area construction and vehicle debris fire with a shed and heavy machinery becoming involved. Crews made an aggressive attack to knock down the flames and stop further spread.

Monponsett Street (Route 58) - Motorcycle Crash
Simultaneously, Ambulance 1 handled a serious motorcycle accident. Due to traumatic injuries, crews requested Boston MedFlight, which airlifted the rider directly to a Boston Level 1 trauma center.

Incidents like this highlight just how fast local resources can be stretched in a matter of seconds.

Tremendous work by our on-duty firefighters, our emergency dispatchers, and our mutual aid partners who stepped up to back us up when it mattered most.

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. A quarter of a century has passed, yet the promise we made that day remains unchanged: We Will Never Forget.

Thank you to everyone from our community who joined us at headquarters this morning for our remembrance ceremony. Standing together with our residents to honor the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost, and the extraordinary bravery shown in the face of unimaginable tragedy, means everything to our department.

For those passing by our station, our memorial out front serves as a permanent daily reminder of that sacrifice. Resting above our memorial bell is an authentic piece of World Trade Center steel recovered from Ground Zero, gifted to the Hanson Fire Department. Inscribed on it are the date and "343 FDNY", honoring the 343 brothers and sisters who climbed those stairwells and gave everything to save others. While the memorial bell stands silent and does not ring, that steel speaks volumes about duty, courage, and ultimate sacrifice.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to hold the victims, the survivors, the responders battling ongoing illnesses, and the families left behind in our hearts.

May we always remember. 🇺🇸

Tonight, the Hanson Fire Department had one of the most rewarding calls in our line of work.

Crews were dispatched to a local residence for a mother in active labor. Ambulance 2 quickly responded to the scene. Meanwhile, Ambulance 1, which was returning from a separate emergency, diverted providing immediate backup.

En route to the hospital, our crews successfully assisted delivering a healthy baby boy right in the back of the ambulance!

We want to extend a massive congratulations to the family on their beautiful new addition. Welcome to the world, little guy!

We are incredibly proud of the seamless teamwork, quick thinking, and professionalism displayed by our members tonight: FF Harris, FF Adams, FF Silva, and FF McKale.

We want to send a huge thank you and "great job" to the Public Safety Dispatchers at the Regional Old Colony Communications Center who calmly and expertly answered the call for this incident: PSD Christina Manning, PSD John Boncek, PSD Katlyn Abban, and PSD Ashley Joyce.

Protect, serve… and deliver groceries?

Earlier today, Hanson Fire and Hanson Police Department responded to a motor vehicle crash at the intersection of East Washington St and State St.

The best news: after an EMS evaluation, zero injuries were reported!

The driver was in the middle of a grocery delivery route when the crash happened. Not wanting someone’s dinner to be delayed; Police Lieutenant Daley and Firefighter Heffernan stepped in as emergency delivery substitutes to personally finish the delivery run.

Imagine answering your door expecting your groceries and finding a Police Lieutenant and a Firefighter holding your bags!

We’re just happy everyone is safe, and we hope we earned a 5-star review on that drop-off. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
