Wednesday morning Lexington Fire Fighters were dispatched to a reported MVA with a car rolled over on Meriam St.  Engines 4 and 3 were sent along with Medic 2 and C-3.  Lexington Fire Department paramedics treated the single occupant of the vehicle on its side as other fire fighters stablized the vehicle and gained access to the patient.  The victim was transported to the local trauma center for treatment.

Just around shift change on Monday morning a 911 call was received by the Lexington Fire Department reporting a fire in the basement of a house on John Poulter Rd.  Upon arrival, fire fighters found smoke showing from the chimney and seeping out door frames and floor edges.  Engine 1 advanced a 1 3/4 hand line down the interior stairs in an attempt to find the seat of the fire.  They encountered heavy smoke with zero visibillity and elevated heat.  A minimal amount of windows and a large compartmentized floor plan made it even more difficult to locate the fire.  With the use of the Thermal imagining camera they were able to locate and extinguish the fire.  A backup 1 3/4 handline was also advanced to support the initial line.  C-3 Capt. Duddy requested a alarm for releif puposes when some fire extension was found on the first floor.  No injuries were reported.  SEE THE PHOTO SECTION AND AUDIO SECTION FOR MORE.

Lt. Sencabaugh Engine 2 assigned to Engine 1 for the Shift!

The Town of Lexington Memorial Day observance for the first time began at the new Lexington Fire Department Memorial. During the brief ceremony a wreath was placed upon the memorial by Firefighter/Paramedic Bob Levesque, an active member of our department and retired Staff Sargeant of the U.S. Army.  All past Lexington Firefighters were remembered especially those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and those who died in the line of duty.  Please visit the PHOTO GALLERY for images of the ceremony taken by FF Todd Duggan.

A burning pick up truck in the breakdown lane of Route 128 North in Lexington Ma, created a multi mile traffic jam heading north bound.  Lexington Engines 1 and 2 responded and found a fully engulfed vehicle fire.  The fire was extinguished quickly, but the Friday evening traffic was doomed.
