Fourth Of July Parade

This year's Fourth Of July Parade will take place on Saturday July 4th, 2009. The Parade steps off at 1000 sharp from the corner of Hixbridge and Main Road and proceeds North on Main Rd to Charlotte White Rd to Sodom Rd and ends at the Holy Ghost Grounds. Parade floats are welcome and encouraged. Anyone wishing to take part in this years parade should contact the Fire Station for details at 508.636.1110 or 508.672.0721.  We ask all parade floats to pre-register for the judging as prizes are awarded. Firefighters, with your help, will be "filling the boot" for our campaign in support of MDA, http://www.mda.org/. The Parade is hosted by the Westport Permanent Firefighters, IAFF Local 1802. We would like to thank in advance our Firefighters, our Chiefs, The Westport Call Firefighters and the Ladies Auxillary for their help. We would also like to thank Local 1802 member Lt. Dan Ledoux. Lt Ledoux has organized the parade for several years and puts alot of work into making sure it is a success, it wouldn't be possible without his efforts.

Firefighters Battle Housefire

Posted On: Jun 30, 2009 (08:58:40)

Firefighters responded to a call for a structure fire on Plymouth Blvd, early Wednesday afternoon, and arrived to find a two-story home well involved with fire. Firefighters mounted an interior attack until the second floor began to collapse and they were forced to withdraw. The fire seemed to have a good headstart and as a result much of the contents and interior walls were completely damaged. The home appeared to be complete loss. There was no one home at the time of the fire and there were no reported injuries. We responded 2 engines, 1 ladder, 1 tanker and a medical rescue to the scene and we were assisted by a Tiverton tanker and a Tiverton engine company. Car 1 called the fire under control about one hour into operations.The WFDLA and Providence Canteen arrived to aid in rehab. The cause appears to be electrical in nature in the area of the kitchen.

Student Arrives In Style

Updated On: Jun 23, 2009 (11:17:00)

Ethan Garcia, a kindergarten student at Macomber Primary School, arrived to school in style with his parents earlier this month. He sat upfront in the Officer's seat aboard Ladder 7, with Firefighter Tim Bernard at the wheel.

Ethan's parents were the high bidders for the fire truck ride at an auction held to raise money for a new playground at Macomber School. The Westport Fire Department donated the ride to assist the school’s parent group, the WES-Mac PTO in raising funds to support this project.

 

Firefighters Assist In Delivery Of Baby

Updated On: Jun 21, 2009 (09:25:00)

Two Westport firefighters/paramedics helped deliver a baby in the back of the ambulance Wednesday night. Dennis Pelland and Steve Lopes arrived at a Main Road address for a medical emergency call at about 7:20. After assessing the patient, they placed her in the ambulance, and before they could leave for the hospital, she delivered a baby girl. The paramedics transported the mother and daughter to Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River, where both are reported to be doing fine. Good Job Guys.
