The Randolph Fire Department has recently completed SAFE training for our students in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades within the Randolph Public schools. This program teaches fire safety to children and includes a simulated house which is brought to the school. Any questions regarding this program maybe directed to Lt. Michael Rennie
Randolph Fire participated in "Operation Prom Night" which is an effort to educate prom-age students, parents, the public and businesses of potential hazards of mixing intoxicating substances and Prom Night and to enforce Zero Tolerance Laws regarding underage drinking and drug use on Prom Night.
An assembly of RHS students followed by an simulated Motor Vehicle Collision involving the use of intoxicating substances, will highlight the results of poor decision making during what is intended to be a celebration of the Classes of 2007 and 2008.
The emphasis of this program will lie in holding those who drink and drive accountable for their actions with the sternest of consequences. Drivers under the age of 21 are reminded that ANY alcohol that is detected in their systems while operating a motor vehicle will make them subject to arrest. By doing this, the chances of a safer, memorable Prom Night are hopefully increased. We would like to Thank Firefighter Bill Brewer who has long been involved in this worth while cause as well as Scott & Brad Cartwright of Cartwright Funeral home and Scott Whynott & Roger Kent of L&W Auto Body, and Woodlawn cleaners who helped make this a successful event. Photos of this will follow
Randolph Fire Department was recently accepted to become the newest member of METROFIRE Inc. METROFIRE consists of 33 Greater Boston communities and Massport. METROFIRE was formed in 1976 and expanded in 1980, the Association is enacted under provisions of Massachusetts General Laws. It's service area encompasses the urban area within Route 128 perimeter, serving an area of
351 square miles and a population of approximately 2,000,000. Randolph Fire had previously applied for membership in February of 1997. After reviewing that request the Policy Committee of METROFIRE Inc. felt that new membership would not be practical at that time. As a result of the events of 9/11 it has been recommended that all fire service mutual aide agreements be reviewed and changes formulated to improve interoperability and homeland security. Final approval for Randolph Fire's inclusion in this vital organization has been approved by the Board of Selectmen. To learn more about METROFIRE visit WWW.MASSMETROFIRE.ORG
