Boston Fire Department

🚒⛑️🔥 The Boston Fire Prevention Education Unit, along with Engine 52, was happy to attend the Boston Kite & Bicycle Festival on May 16 at Franklin Park.

Engine 52 demonstrated the tools and equipment used on the fire engine while the Education Unit handed out fire hats, coloring books and fire safety information. As always, both children and adults were eager to spin the Fire Safety Wheel and learn important fire safety tips!

Young and old alike enjoyed flying kites and spending the day together in the park.

We were also proud to participate alongside our partners at Boston EMS, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, Boston Parks and Recreation, and a host of other City agencies and vendors who helped make this a fun and successful community event. 🚒🎡🪁 Boston Parks and Recreation Department Mayor Michelle Wu 吳弭 Boston EMS (Emergency Medical Services) City of Boston Suffolk County Sheriff's Department - Boston, MA Kite festivals Boston Firefighters Local 718 IAFF

The Fire Prevention Education Unit would like to Congratulate Deputy Chief Rodney Marshall on becoming Boston Fire Department’s first Black Fire Commissioner #45!

Your guidance and leadership have inspired me and many others to push forward and rise through the ranks.

Proud to see Dorchester’s very own make history.

The Boston Fire Prevention Education Unit recently conducted a senior fire safety presentation at the Boston Elks Lodge #10 in West Roxbury. During this session, we provided instruction on Fire Extinguisher 101, along with important fire safety practices in and around the kitchen.

Participants were trained in essential life-saving techniques. Stop, Drop, Cover Your Face, and roll, and learn how fires start and spread through the Fire Triangle.

A key part of the presentation included individuals with mobility challenges, emphasizing how to smother a fire from a wheelchair, proper use of hands and guardrails in bathrooms, awareness of areas of refuge, and fall prevention.

This program reinforces our commitment to ensuring all community members especially seniors have the knowledge and skills to stay safe.
