Tuttle Post at 88 Bancroft St. in Auburn. The fire was reported to the Auburn Emergency Communication Center at 7:57 p.m. reporting a fire in the kitchen. Engine 3 from the Headquarters station was first to arrive at 8:01 p.m. and struck a 2nd alarm with heavy smoke coming from the roof.<br />
<br />
At the time of the 911 call the building was occupied with a little over 200 people eating dinner on the first floor of the building and patrons in the bar on the basement level. The fire alarm in the building was pulled and there was an orderly evacuation of the building. An off duty Auburn Firefighter was having dinner at the restaurant when the fire broke out and assisted in alerting patrons and safely evacuating them with staff.<br />
<br />
A 3rd alarm was struck at 8:11 p.m. and at the same time the Incident Commander ordered the evacuation of firefighters from the building due to deteriorating conditions. Just minutes after the firefighters left the building there was a total collapse of the roof.<br />
<br />
Auburn Fire Rescue Chief Stephen M. Coleman Jr. says there were no injuries reported of any patrons or firefighters. "With the amount of people in the building at the time of the fire we are extremely lucky tonight that we did not have any serious injuries and that everyone was able to escape the building quickly" Coleman said.<br />
<br />
Chief Coleman says that the fire was well advanced when fire crews arrived and that there was a heavy fire load already in the attic. "The fire had been burning for sometime in the attic space and was well advanced before anyone in the building knew it".<br />
<br />
The fire is not believed to be suspicious and is under investigation by the State Fire Marshals Office in conjunction with the District 7 Fire Investigation Unit. Auburn firefighters were assisted on scene by mutual aid companies from Oxford, Millbury, Leicester, Charlton, Webster, Sturbridge and Worcester.<br />

9-1-1 centers across the Commonwealth including Auburn are now able to receive Text-to-9-1-1.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What is Text-to-9-1-1? <br />
Text-to-9-1-1 is the ability to send a text message to reach 9-1-1 emergency call takers from your mobile device. </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
How Do I Reach Text-to-9-1-1? <br />
When using a texting app on a device, type the numbers “911” into the “To” or “Recipient” field. </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What Information Should I Give Text-to-9-1-1? <br />
You should make every effort to text the following: <br />
• what is happening (nature of the incident); <br />
• location including the address/location and town name; <br />
• any additional details about the location you can provide such as landmarks, cross streets, nearby business names, apartment number, floor, room or suite numbers, or any details that may be helpful in locating you. </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When Should I Use Text-to-9-1-1? <br />
Texting should only be used during an emergency when you are unable to make a voice call to 9-1-1. Making a voice call is the most efficient way to get access to emergency services. <br />
Text-to-9-1-1 will be useful for citizens who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired. Text-to-9-1-1 eliminates the need to use ancillary Teletypewriter (TTY) equipment, or third party services to access 9-1-1. </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What Happens Next? <br />
The 9-1-1 professional in the Communications Center will ask you many questions, will assist in sending first responders to the location you identify, and may provide instructions on things for you to do. </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Why Didn’t My Text Go Through? <br />
Messages sent to Text-to-9-1-1 may not be received. If you attempt to send a Text-to-9-1-1 where the service is not available, wireless carriers provide an automatic "bounce-back" message. Bounce-back messages are intended to minimize the risk that you mistakenly believe that your text was sent and received by an emergency call center. As part of the bounce-back message, you will be advised to contact emergency services by another means. <br />
Text-to-9-1-1 is currently available throughout the Commonwealth. However, across the country, Text-to-9-1-1 may only be in certain locations. Whenever possible, you should always make a voice call to 9-1-1 during an emergency. </div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Are There Any Text-to-9-1-1 Limitations I Should Know About? <br />
Text-to-9-1-1 uses native texting technology called Short Message Service (SMS). Therefore, you must have a text or data plan on your mobile device to Text-to-9-1-1 and you should avoid sending: <br />
• multi-media such as pictures, videos and emoticons; <br />
• a message to more than one person as a recipient; <br />
• messages exceeding the 160 character limit, as the messages will be broken and may be delivered out of order. <br />
Text-to-9-1-1 rules do not apply to the following: third party texting applications (apps) on mobile devices that do not support texting to and from U.S. phone numbers, apps that only support texting with other app users, or texting through social media. This can include message services over WiFi networks, where a text or data plan is not required.</div>

The first arriving crews found a sedan that had driven off an embankment through a bollard. The vehicle was found on the passengers side in a shallow stream with 1 person still trapped inside. The vehicle had extensive damage primarily to the front end, the patient was alert and oriented with minor complaints of injury.<br />
<br />
The vehicle was stabilized with cribbing and struts, the windshield was removed and entry was gained to the patient. The patient was extricated to a stokes basket and carried to the waiting ambulance. AFRD transported the patient to UMASS Medical Center University Campus with non-life threatening injuries.<br />
<br />
There was a light sheen on the water from the vehicle's fluids, hazmat booms were placed down stream. The Auburn Water Department and DEP were notified, the water department did respond to the scene. The electrical inspector was also notified due to underground wires being exposed from the bollard being dislodged.<br />

<span class="fontstyle0"><br /></span>
<span class="fontstyle0">Kidde, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has<br />announced a recall to replace certain Kidde dual sensor smoke alarms. This recall involves two<br />models of Kidde Dual Sensor Smoke Alarms: models PI2010 and PI9010. A copy of the CPSC<br />press release is enclosed.</span><br />
<span class="fontstyle0"><br />This replacement program was initiated because certain dual sensor (photoelectric or ionization)<br />smoke alarms were left with a yellow cap in place during the manufacturing process. The cap can<br />cover one of the two smoke sensors and compromise the smoke alarm’s ability to detect smoke,<br />posing a risk of consumers not being alerted to a fire in their home.</span><br />
<span class="fontstyle0"><br /></span>
<span class="fontstyle0">Consumers should remove the alarm from the wall/ceiling and visually inspect it through the<br />opening on the side of the alarm for the presence of a yellow cap. Consumers should not attempt to<br />take apart the alarm, open the casing, or otherwise remove the yellow cap themselves. If a yellow<br />cap is present, the consumer should immediately contact Kidde to receive instructions and request<br />a free replacement smoke alarm. They should remove and discard the recalled smoke alarm only<br />after they receive and install the replacement alarm. If no yellow cap is present, consumers should<br />reinstall the smoke alarm and no further action is needed.</span><br />
<span class="fontstyle0"><br /></span>
<span class="fontstyle0">If you receive inquiries please immediately direct them to contact Kidde at (833) 551-7739<br />between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST Monday-Friday (excluding holidays), or between 9 a.m. and 3<br />p.m. during the weekend. They may also visit </span><span class="fontstyle0" style="color: blue;">www.Kidde.com </span><span class="fontstyle0">and click on “Product Safety<br />Recall” for more information. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">At 3:15 a.m. the Auburn Fire Rescue Department (AFRD) received a 911 call from a resident at 230 Leicester Street reporting their home was on fire and fire was coming through the roof. The two residents of the two family home escaped the fire without injury. </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fire crews upon arrival found heavy fire venting through the front living room window. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">AFRD Deputy Chief Glenn Johnson said the residents were alerted to the fire by their smoke detectors, which allowed them time to get out safely. This situation is a great example of the importance of working smoke detectors in homes. Without working smoke detectors in this home the outcome could have been fatal. Smoke detectors save lives. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The fire went to 3 alarms and there were no injuries to civilians or firefighters. Deputy Johnson said the fire is under investigation but does not appear to be suspicious. The two residents were displaced from their home and will be staying with friends. </span><br />

ride in honor of slain Auburn Police Officer Ronald Tarantino brought out over
500 bikes that left the Leicester High School this morning at 11:00 a.m. While
the ride was coming through Charlton on Oxford Rd. near Buffumville Dam at the Oxford

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The AFRD's ALS
Motor assigned to the CEMLEC Police Motor Unit was working the ride and being operated
by Captain/Paramedic Justin Brigham. Captain Brigham was about 2 miles behind
the accident when he was notified by CEMLEC Officers at the scene to respond.
The ALS Motor is able to navigate through the hundreds of bikes and arrived on the
accident scene in just under 2 minutes and began to evaluate and provide aid to
the female passenger of the motorcycle who suffered a head injury. An Ambulance
from the Charlton Fire Department was called to the scene to transport the
patient to UMASS Medical Center with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“This is why
the ALS Motor was put into service, for these situations”, said AFRD Chief
Stephen M. Coleman Jr. “These rides bring hundreds of bikes to main streets and
back roads in many communities and accidents happen, whether it is someone from
the public or one of the officers. Having the ability to bring trained medical
professionals to the scene quickly on and with the right equipment is key to providing
early interventions”, Coleman said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">At 12:07 a.m. the Auburn Fire Rescue Department (AFRD) received a 911 call from a resident at 3 Washington Street lot 45 reporting a mobile home was on fire at lot 68. The resident of lot 68 escaped the fire and went across the street to call 911. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>Fire crews upon arrival found the fire venting through the windows and impinging on a propane tank. The Worcester Fire Department also received the call since the location was on the Auburn/Worcester line. AFRD and Worcester Fire extinguished the blaze. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">AFRD Deputy Chief Glenn Johnson said the fire went to 2 alarms and there were no injuries to civilians or firefighters. The fire is under investigation but does not appear to be suspicious. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
following is a summary of our two press conferences that were held today in
Auburn MA related to the Ford Explorer Carbon Monoxide (CO) issue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
total of 13 Town Ford Explorer and Interceptor vehicles tested positive
yesterday for elevated levels of CO. 10 vehicles from Police, 2 from Fire and 1

total of 6 Police Officers were sent to the hospital with elevated levels of CO,
1 emergent following a motor vehicle accident and 5 as a precaution. The Police
Chief ordered all officers in the department be tested. All officers were

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Town
officials held a meeting with Ford Engineers in Auburn this morning to discuss
the problem and our findings from yesterday’s testing conducted by the Fire
Rescue Department. Those four Ford employees spent the day inspecting some of the 13
vehicles that tested positive. Not all vehicles were tested today and that testing will
continue into tomorrow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Auburn to rectify all issues and stated that the four Ford employees will remain
in Auburn until the 13 vehicles are repaired and back on the road. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Town placed an order of 50 SCOTT Protégé 2M single gas CO meters to be
installed in all Ford Explorer and Interceptor vehicles as well as some additional
vehicles in the towns fleet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
Town has received several phone calls today from Police and Fire Departments
from across the state inquiring what types of monitoring devices we have
researched. Fire Officials are saying the manufacturer you choose is not important, the recommendation is a single gas, zero maintenance CO meter. What fire officials
are saying is that residential CO detectors are not the proper application for
this issue. The difference between these meters and a residential CO detector
is the single gas meters are constantly monitoring for CO, where as a residential
CO detector is activated due to long term exposure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Shortly after 3:00 p.m. this afternoon the Auburn
Fire Rescue Department received a call from the Casella Recycling Facility
located at 15 Hardscrabble Rd. for an unknown liquid that was causing approximately
30-35 employees suffer burning throat, itchy skin and eyes and shortness of breath
when inside the building. Upon the fire rescue departments arrival all of the
employees had left the facility after they told Casella officials they did not
want to seek medical attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Fire Rescue Department requested assistance from
the state Hazardous Materials Team in identifying the substance. The Haz Mat
team upgraded the response a short time later from a Tier I to a Tier II response
which would allow team members to conduct an entry into the facility for an

from the Central Mass EMS Corporation in placing area hospitals including Rhode
Island on alert for potential patients and to our knowledge no one has sought
medical attention at a hospital.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
