Mendon Fire Department

Engine 44 with a crew of four was in the Town of Ashland this morning providing coverage for the Marathon.

Open-air burning is allowed today, March 31st, in the town of Mendon.

Today's predicted FD07 fire weather:
Class: 1 Low
Mostly Cloudy with rain
Temperature: 69°
RH: 65%
Winds: Southwest 6 Gusts 18

From an air quality standpoint, conditions are ACCEPTABLE for open-air burning.

No opening burning allowed today due to elevated fire weather potential.

Dry and breezy conditions today, with relative humidities this afternoon expected to drop into the 35 to 50 percent range away from the Cape and islands. In addition, southwesterly wind gusts between 25 and 30 mph develop by this afternoon. When combined with the lack of recent significant rainfall, elevated fire weather potential will exist today.

Happy International Women’s Day to the Women of Mendon Fire Dept.

On the left is our executive assistant Terri Russell. Terri is the friendly voice on the other end of the telephone when calling the station Mon-Fri with a
question or to schedule an inspection.

On the right is Firefighter/Paramedic Casey Hobson. FF Hobson will reach the end of her probationary year here at MFD on Tuesday, March 10th. Her contributions make our town safer and stronger. Furthermore, she continues to grow as an asset to the Town and Dept having recently obtained her Paramedic certification.

Thank you both for all you do!
