We were happy to host Chelmsford Fire Department's new recruits for a great day of hands-on search and rescue training. Training alongside our mutual-aid partners strengthens relationships, builds teamwork, and makes all our communities safer.

On the night of September 11, a day that carries such a powerful reminder of sacrifice, service, and unity, that same spirit was on display in a different way.

Ayer, Shirley, Littleton, and Bromfield (Harvard) came together for the opening night of the Ayer-Shirley-Littleton-Bromfield football program.

Students, families, school districts, fire departments, police departments, and community members from four towns stood together to support one team.

September 11 will always be a day to remember those we lost and those who answered the call to help others. It is also a reminder of what can happen when communities come together for one another.

Thank you to

On the morning of September 11, 2001, thousands of people woke up and began their day, never knowing it would be their last.

343 firefighters. 37 NYPort Authority police officers. 23 NYPD officers. EMTs and paramedics. Office workers. Travelers. Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends and neighbors.

Among them was FDNY Captain Timothy Stackpole. After being critically burned in a 1998 fire, he spent years fighting his way back to duty. He was promoted to Captain just five days before September 11. Though off duty that morning, he responded when his city needed him and made the ultimate sacrifice.

His story is just one of thousands stories from that day, each a life, a family, and a loss that should never be forgotten.

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

Today, the Littleton Fire Department conducted fire drills at all four schools. Students, teachers, and staff did a great job we appreciate everyone’s cooperation! The middle school students might have won the award for most enthusiasm! We love to see it.

Massachusetts fire code requires students to receive fire drill instructions or participate in a drill within three days of entering school. Practicing these procedures helps everyone prepare for an emergency.

We’re happy to help kick off the 2026–2027 school year and wish our school community a safe and successful year!

Preparedness doesn’t happen when the alarm sounds. It happens long before it.
For our firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics, training is a constant part of providing the service our community depends on. One call may require operating a pump and advancing a hoseline into a burning building. The next may require managing a cardiac arrest, treating a critically injured patient, or recognizing a life-threatening medical emergency where seconds matter.
That range of responsibility requires continuous training.
Every hour spent practicing fireground operations, EMS skills, apparatus operations, rescue techniques, and decision-making builds the knowledge, confidence, and teamwork our personnel need when the call comes in.
For Littleton, that preparation means having personnel who are ready to respond to an incredibly wide range of emergencies safely, efficiently, and professionally.
We may never know which training evolution, EMS scenario, or lesson learned will make the difference on the next call. That’s exactly why we train for all of them.

If you are installing a new smoke alarm or combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, take a moment to make sure it is activated.

Many newer 10 year sealed battery alarms are shipped with a battery activation tab or require an activation step before they will operate. Some brands activate when the alarm is locked onto the mounting bracket, while others require the battery to be activated first.

On the alarm shown below, the yellow safety tag must be removed before the alarm can be activated. If this step is missed, the alarm is not on and will not sound in the event of an emergency.

This was a close call for one family who believed their new smoke alarms were installed and protecting them. Fortunately, the issue was discovered before an emergency occurred, but the alarms had never actually been activated.

This is an easy step to overlook. The best way to know your alarm is working is to press and hold the TEST button until the alarm sounds. Never assume a newly installed alarm is operating correctly without testing it.

A working smoke alarm saves lives.
