Smoking is the #1 cause of fatal fires in Massachusetts. There's no truly safe way to smoke, but if you must smoke then always use a heavy ashtray with water or sand. And no one should ever smoke in a home where medical oxygen is in use. Learn more: https://t.co/jW2e6MDciB
A closed door can make a 900-degree difference in a fire at home. Everyone needs working #SmokeAlarms & a practiced home escape plan, but closing your door when you go to sleep can slow the spread of deadly smoke, flames, and #CarbonMonoxide. Learn more: https://t.co/79RVqrEQmR
Thank you to those who came out to support the Hopkinton Fire Departments annual blood drive in collaboration with the @RedCross at the Hopkinton Senior Center. The Red Cross collected 45 units of blood which will help save the lives of 135 people!
Getting set up for our blood drive with the @RedCross at the Hopkinton Senior Center today from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm. We have a few spots open if you’d like to donate.
Sign up, stop by, make a difference. 🩸
There's no truly safe way to smoke, but smoking on medical oxygen is especially dangerous! This combination was a known or suspected factor in at least 5 Massachusetts fire deaths last year. Our safety flyer is available in English, Spanish, & Portuguese: https://t.co/EgqYDCcJHv
One more week until our Blood Drive. We have 14-spots left to fill. For those who come to give, the Red Cross will say thanks with a Fandango Movie Ticket by email (up to $15 ticket price and fees). Use it to catch a summer blockbuster on the Red Cross!
July 8 is International @ParamedicsDay, recognizing the depth and breadth of lifesaving work that these first responders perform every day. On #IPD2025, we join our colleagues around the globe to thank our #Paramedics for the difference they make every day.
It's the first Saturday of the month, and that means it's #SmokeAlarmSaturday! Smoke and #CarbonMonoxide alarms are your family's first line of defense at home. Be sure you and your loved ones are protected -- test them once a month to be sure they're working properly!
With the expected extreme heat over the next few days remember to stay cool and stay hydrated. Check on vulnerable folks like kids, the elderly, the sick, and pets.
With hot weather in the days ahead, remember that #HotCars are no place for kids, pets, or vulnerable adults -- not even with the window cracked, not even for "just a minute." The temperature inside a car can become unsafe in just two minutes! Learn more: https://t.co/qNw5upmtdx
We are one month away from our blood drive and need your support. Sponsored by the Hopkinton Fire Department and in collaboration with the Hopkinton Senior Center and the American Red Cross @redcrossma on July 17th, 2025. Interested donors can sign up at: https://t.co/f4KsyMEkD4

This morning, Hopkinton Firefighters gathered for Firefighter Memorial Sunday to remember those we’ve lost and to honor those who serve. Firefighter Sunday happens on the 2nd Sunday in June each year.
It's the first Saturday of the month, and that means it's #SmokeAlarmSaturday! Smoke and CO alarms are your first line of defense against an emergency. Test them each month to be sure they're working properly, and check with older friends and relatives to see if they need a hand.
It's gonna be a hot one! Know the signs of heat-related illness (https://t.co/7LD7sIare5), and hydrate before, during, & after outdoor activities. By the time you feel thirsty you're already behind in fluid replacement, and dehydration is a leading contributor to heat exhaustion.
On this Memorial Day, take a moment to honor and remember the bravery of men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice. May they rest in peace and never be forgotten.
