Our annual Open House is today! Come on by and check out the trucks, free pizza and watch us cut up a car with The Jaws!

BFD will be back in the area of yesterday's brush fire checking for hot spots.

There is a lot of smoke in the area today and that will continue until we get some good rainfall and all the area brush fires are extinguished. If you're concerned about smoke in your neighborhood you can give us a call and we'll come out and check.

As a reminder, there is a statewide ban on outdoor fires until January 15th. If you live in the downtown Beverly area you are not allowed to burn outside regardless of the States policy due to the congestion of buildings.

Fire safety experts strongly discourage the use of outdoor gas-fueled turkey fryers that immerse the turkey in hot oil. There are no outdoor turkey fryers that have a listing from an independent testing laboratory such as UL or ETL. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=kjUynq…

More than twice as many fires are reported at home on #Thanksgiving as on the next leading day, and almost all of them start in the kitchen. #KeepItClean and reduce the risk of cooking fires! Clean up grease spills and move groceries, food packaging, etc, away from the stovetop.

Storm hitting tonight, don't forget to check your furnace exhausts and your CO detectors. Check on your neighbors tomorrow, let's take care of each other!

Conducting RIT/FAST training at Beverly Hospital for several days this week and next. Firefighter rescue drills are crucial for us, demanding work but essential. You can see how quickly the rescuer disappeared in the simulated smoke, very close to the real thing minus the heat.

New bailout system training at the Beverly Hospital this week. Special thanks to the hospital, as usual, for giving us a place to train. And to All Hands Training for their tremendous program and trainers. Excellent job by all involved!

Today the BFD gathered to remember our six firefighters who died in the line of duty. FF'S Boardman, Munroe, Reilly, Kelly, McPherson and Roberts. Our families and friends gathered with us to pay tribute and ensure that their memories live on.
