Emergency calls are what you expect from us, but this past holiday weekend, Attleboro Fire Department members went above and beyond their everyday duties.
In addition to handling over 75 emergency calls, our crews proudly took part in several community events.
AFD partnered with North Attleboro Fire during the Memorial Day Ride for Freedom, raising the American flag between our ladder trucks to honor and welcome the riders as they passed through.
On Memorial Day, AFD’s Honor Guard, along with several fire apparatus, participated in the city’s parade to pay tribute to those who served. We’re grateful for the support and warm applause we received along the route.
Crews also responded to multiple calls for ducklings that had fallen into sewer drains — successfully reuniting them with their families.
In a coordinated effort with Attleboro Police and Massachusetts State Police, AFD assisted in locating a missing 9-year-old girl. We’re relieved to report she was found safe at a friend’s home.
