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!

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.

Today the BFD recovered a body from the Danvers River between The Kernwood Bridge and Obear Park. The identity of the person has not been determined.

If you can't get out, pull your legs up to your chest and hug your legs with both arms if possible. Try to maintain as much body heat as you can for as long as you can. Yell for help. Don't give up.

Here are some ice safety tips;
Never go out on ice alone.
Make sure people know your plans.
You need 4" of ice to safely walk on it.
The ice near the shore is thicker than it is further out, especially early in the season.
Snow cover slows ice growth.

[Beverly Fire Dept @BeverlyFire]

Try to get your forearms on the ice surface and kick your legs to "swim" onto the ice. If you get out then roll away from the hole towards solid ice. Get help/warm and dry as soon as you can. Hypothermia can set in in about 30 minutes.

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.
