The Millbury Fire Department would like to congratulate Firefighters Peter Blais and Samantha Mastrogiacomo on successfully graduating from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy!

The curriculum covers a wide range of essential firefighting skills, including hazardous materials (HazMat), vehicle extrication, ladder operations, hose advancement, and live-fire training.

Both Peter and Samantha have worked hard to reach this milestone, and we are proud to welcome them as they begin their careers with the Millbury Fire Department.

Please join us in congratulating Peter and Samantha on this well-deserved accomplishment! We wish them both the very best as they begin this next chapter of their firefighting careers! 🚒

11/04/2026

Last evening, we had the honor of celebrating Assistant Chief Robert Silver’s retirement from the Millbury Fire Department after 36 years of dedicated service to the Millbury community.

Bob began his firefighting career at Headquarters in 1990 before transferring to Station 3 in East Millbury. He was appointed Lieutenant in 2006 and promoted to Captain in 2012. In 2015, Bob was appointed to the Board of Fire Engineers, where he went on to serve in the positions of Assistant Chief and Deputy Chief.

Throughout his career, Bob earned countless certifications, including Statewide Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), Incident Safety Officer, Fire Investigation, and Fire Prevention Program certifications.

Among Bob’s many memorable moments was his work in helping make Ben Haglund an official Honorary Member of the Millbury Fire Department, something that held a special place in his career.

The evening also included a special presentation from Senator Mike Moore, who recognized Bob with an award honoring his 36 years of service. Members of the Fire and Irons Motorcycle Club, of which Bob is a member, were also on hand to show their support and celebrate this milestone.

Bob, thank you for 36 years of dedication, commitment, and service to the Millbury Fire Department and the Town of Millbury. Your contributions to this department and community will not be forgotten.

Congratulations on your retirement, Bob! We wish you a happy, healthy, and well-deserved retirement!

You've changed your clocks -- but have you checked your alarms? The manufacturing date is printed on the back. Replace smoke alarms after 10 years and CO alarms after 5, 7, or 10 years depending on the model. And if your alarms take alkaline batteries, replace them to stay safe this winter.

Choosing a new alarm? Select one from a well-known national brand with a sealed, long-life battery and a hush feature. Devices that meet UL Standard 217, 8th edition or later, will reduce nuisance alarms caused by cooking smoke.

Last night at approximately 10:08 PM, the Millbury Fire Department was dispatched to Route 146 northbound in the area of Herricks Lane for a single-vehicle accident.

Initial reports indicated that the vehicle struck a deer before hitting the Jersey barrier. No entrapment was reported.

Engine 1 responded to the scene to address any potential fluid leaks from the vehicle and remained on scene while DiRenzo’s Towing loaded the vehicle onto a flatbed.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and the deer was also uninjured.

Pumps & Hydraulics Training

This past weekend, members of the Millbury Fire Department were joined by firefighters from the Grafton and Cambridge Fire Departments, along with instructors from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy, for a Pumps and Hydraulics class.

Saturday’s session was held in the classroom at Fire Headquarters. Let’s just say there was a lot of math involved! 🧮

On Sunday, firefighters put what they learned into practice at the sewer pump station on Providence Street. Drills included troubleshooting multiple operating lines within a building, drafting to establish a water supply, and relay pumping to simulate supplying water over long distances.

These are invaluable skills that help prepare our firefighters for challenging incidents where establishing and maintaining an adequate water supply is critical.

A big thank you to the instructors from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy and to the Grafton and Cambridge Fire Departments for joining us for this important training!

Train hard. Stay prepared. Serve our community. 💪🚒
