Gloucester Volunteer Fire & Rescue’s Marine Incident Response Team (MIRT) extends its sincere appreciation to Cole Malise, owner of Friday’s Malise Marine services for his continued “swift turnaround times” when contacted to perform routine maintenance and repairs to our search and rescue watercraft! We never know when the next water emergency will occur and Cole has always provided us with expedited appointments and minimal “down times”! Thanks Cole!!!

Here’s some important information from the American Firefighter Facebook Page: In addition to synthetic materials used in building and furniture construction, today’s “open floor plan design” allows the fire to spread faster and gives it more air. Make sure you have working smoke alarms, and have and practice your Home Fire Escape Plan with all family members. If you do not have a home fire escape plan, stop by Station 1 and ask for a Home Fire Escape Plan Template and we’ll give you one. Then sit down with the entire household, put it on paper and then practice it!
