This morning we pause to think of our brothers and sister in Peabody on the 8th anniversary of the death of Firefighter Jimmy Rice of Engine Co. 5. He died while battling a house fire on Handcock St. December 23rd, 2011. May he never be forgotten. @PeabodyFire925

We know it's hard to believe #LaborDayWeekend is already here! If you are firing up your grill, fire pit or patio torches, don’t walk away from them when they are lit. Place coals from your grill in a metal can with a lid once they have cooled. Have a fire-safe holiday weekend!
