Training in between calls today. Group 3 on duty.

Earlier today crews responded to Westwood High School for a reported dryer fire in a laundry room.

C3, E2, E5, and A3 were dispatched. Luckily apparatus had recently returned in service since Group 2 has already run about ten calls since start of shift.

Upon arrival, crews encountered an active fire inside a dryer with a smoke condition in the building. Firefighters quickly knocked down the fire and checked for extension. Crews remained on scene for 45 minutes removing smoke from the building.

We thank our mutual aid partners for responding on the working fire to either provide assistance on scene or station coverage of our two stations.

The Westwood Firefighters Local 1994 members would like to thank everyone who supported the new Fire Station 1 at last night’s Special Town Meeting. The 594–76 vote brought us one step closer to a new station!

We still need your support on Tuesday, November 3. A YES vote on the ballot question is needed to fund the project and move it forward.

Please spread the word and remember to VOTE YES on November 3!

New Squad 1. Temporary location Station 2 due to apparatus limitations in our current quarters.

Squad 1 is a versatile, multi-purpose apparatus designed to enhance our emergency response capabilities.

While its primary responsibility is brush and wildland firefighting, Squad 1 will also respond to a variety of emergencies, including: Severe Weather & Snowstorms during challenging weather and road conditions, Remote & Difficult-Terrain Rescues to reach injured or stranded individuals in wooded and remote areas, and also serves as a Backup Engine since it carries essential firefighting equipment to support structural firefighting operations.

Squad 1 provides Westwood firefighters with greater versatility and additional resources to protect our community.

Congratulations to FFOP William Khoury on graduating from the Metro Boston Academy today!

🔥 BURNIN’ DOWN THE HOUSE — A FILM EVERY WESTWOOD RESIDENT SHOULD SEE 🔥

On Thursday, October 8th at 7:00 PM, we invite our Westwood neighbors to join us at The Norwood Theatre for a special screening of BurnindownDoc.

This documentary takes an inside look at the aging and sometimes dangerous conditions firefighters across the country are living and working in every day—and the long-term health and safety consequences of operating out of firehouses that were built for another era.

For Westwood, this subject hits especially close to home.

Our own Fire Station 1 has reached the end of its useful life. Structural concerns with the apparatus floor have made the situation increasingly urgent, while the building no longer meets the operational, safety, accessibility, and health standards expected of a modern 24/7 fire station.

We encourage residents to come see the film, hear the post-screening discussion, and learn why communities like Westwood are confronting difficult decisions about aging public-safety infrastructure.

🎬 Burnin’ Down the House
📅 Thursday, October 8
⏰ 7:00 PM
📍 The Norwood Theatre
🎟️ FREE ADMISSION — tickets available at the door

A special thank you to the Town of Norwood for sponsoring this event and helping provide an opportunity for residents and firefighters from our surrounding communities to have an important conversation about the condition and future of our fire stations.

We hope to see a strong Westwood turnout. Come see the film. Ask questions. Learn about the challenges facing Fire Station 1. And most importantly, stay informed.
