#Clendeninfire has had a very busy week with multiple calls per day. The dry windy weather has caused multiple brush fires and service calls throughout the week. We continue to train and provide the best service possible, even with these long days. Have a good week!

Did you know foresters use Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) to monitor wildfire conditions?

We use the data to maintain our Smokey Bear Fire Danger signs throughout the state, which inform the public of current wildfire conditions.

Twenty years ago today, people were gathered in a RI nightclub when their lives changed forever. When fireworks ignited the foam ceiling, there was a mad dash to leave. The blaze claimed 100 lives. #StationNightclub #WestWarwick #Firefighters
