Ashland, MA - Ashland Fire Department responded to two medical emergencies in quick succession, followed by a motor vehicle accident on Fountain Street reported as a head-on collision with entrapment. All patients were successfully transported for medical care.
The department received valuable mutual aid assistance from Framingham Fire and Hopkinton Fire Departments. For smaller departments like Ashland’s, multiple simultaneous incidents can quickly stretch available resources.
