If any of you living around Leadmine Mountain noticed flashlights, rustling, or whistling this evening, don't worry, it wasn't a bear (or so they say). It was Central Massachusetts Search And Rescue Team!

These pumpkin heads are volunteers that are nationally certified to find and rescue missing people. They support local public safety and it takes a lot of work to do what they do. Tonight, they were practicing searching in the dark, which can be very dangerous (speaking from experience).

They are a great group of people. Hit them up and show them some love! https://www.cmsart.org/

Two members from Sturbridge CERT and Charlton CERT were happy to assist Warren West Brookfield CERT Team with the annual Easter egg hunt at Lucy Stone Park in Warren.

Happy Easter!

The Sturbridge CERT program is grateful for the exceptional training provided by Lt. Ashe of the Sturbridge Fire Department on Saturday morning. The session covered critical topics including CPR for infants, children, and adults, choking, AED use, and naloxone administration. We were also very pleased to see the department's LUCAS device up close. Thank you to Lt. Ashe for investing your time in our team's development and spending your whole Saturday morning with us. We feel fortunate to have such dedicated professionals in our community.

Tonight is supposed to get stupid cold! At this moment, it looks to be 1 degree with a real feel of -19 and dropping.

Be sure that you're prepared for this level of cold.
*Dress warmly
*Limit your time outside
*Make sure to check in on your neighbors
*Make sure that any space heaters have 3' of space around them
*Be aware of the signs of frostbite, hypothermia, and Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

Sturbridge CERT is always prepared to open a warming shelter, if needed. Should you or someone you know need a warm place to stay, call the Sturbridge Dispatch Center at (508) 347-2525 ext. 0 and ask to speak with the on-duty Sergeant. The Public Safety Building is also always open and warm, 24/7. Feel free to stop by.

Stay warm, stay safe, stay prepared, and GO PATS!
