It's official!!! The brand new Engine 3 and Engine 5 are in service in the city!! Local 925 is extremely thankful for Ted Bettencourt and Chief Jay Dowling investment in the safety and will being of our members and giving us these desperately needed apparatus to serve the citizens of Peabody for years to come!!!

I’m excited to report that both of our new fire engines, Engines 3 and 5, are now home in Peabody and are actively serving our community.

Engine 3 is based on Prospect Street, and our newly acquired Engine 5 is based on Lynn Street.

Thank you to the City Council for supporting this important investment in the safety of our community.

Thank you to Chief Dowling and the outstanding men and women of the Peabody Fire Department for your unwavering commitment to keeping the City safe every day.

As I’ve stated previously, each truck was purchased for approximately $950,000 and was ordered about three years ago.

To help protect the City’s interests and ensure taxpayers receive fair value, the City has joined a class action lawsuit against the firetruck manufacturers alleging anti-trust violations and anti-competitive practices.

We know that the weather is unpredictable, and changes every hour, but our friends at US National Weather Service Boston MA and Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) have posted a lot of valuable information about the upcoming weekend storm. The members of Local 925 are preparing equipment if needed, and we advise our neighbors to also prepare your property, keep an eye out for neighbors, and use caution if you need to go out!! As always, your Peabody Firefighters stand ready to respond if needed!!

The US National Weather Service Boston MA is forecasting a Nor’easter that will impact Massachusetts this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with the most significant impacts on Cape Cod and the Islands.

Tips for preparing ahead of the storm:

• Monitor conditions closely and ensure that Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are enabled on your cell phone. If your community has a reverse 911 system, you should sign up to receive local warnings. ✔️

• Make sure your home emergency kit is stocked with supplies that could help in the event of a power outage, including a flashlight and extra batteries. ✔️

Additional tips on what to do in the event of a flood or power outage can be found at mass.gov/MEMA
