Mendon, MA — January 14th — In order to provide coverage for the Uxbridge Fire Department, the Mendon Fire Department, which is based at 8 Morrison Street in Mendon, Massachusetts, collaborated with Chief Bangma and District 7 fire department allies. Uxbridge firefighters were able to attend Officer LaPorta's wake because to the coverage. Mendon battalions were sent to the Town of Douglas for mutual help later that night. A second-alarm structure fire was attended to by Ladder 44, Car 1, and Car 2, which helped with command support and fireground operations.


The Town of Mendon was completely safe throughout the day. Firefighters continued to support nearby towns, managed several service requests, and kept station coverage. The importance of regional collaboration and mutual aid within the fire service is shown in the coordinated response.
