Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I am delighted to pass along the following information from our town’s
new Fire Chief.
A Safety Message from Hanover Fire Chief Jeffrey Blanchard:
I would like to take a moment to remind all citizens that during this
holiday weekend and throughout the summer months that “fire injuries
do not take a summer vacation”.
Members of the Hanover Fire Department were reminded of this fact when
on Friday evening, we responded to an incident for a patient suffering
burns as a result of a home accident. Paramedics treated and
transported this patient via Med Flight to a Boston Hospital for
treatment. Preliminary indications are that some type of gel fuel was
involved in the incident. Further investigation is being performed by
the members of the Hanover Fire Department and the State Fire
Marshal’s office.
Remember, we all need to work together to provide a safe environment
during outdoor activities. When the calendar says summer, or any time
we enjoy activities we normally associate with being outdoors in
summer, we need to remember that the pleasure of these activities can
come to a sudden end unless we remain aware and protect ourselves
against fire and burn injuries.
For more information on summer safety, visit the Fire Department’s
web site: www.hanoverfiredept.com

(Editor’s note: Congrats and best wishes in your new role, Jeff! CHB)
