Around 1:30 – 2:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, August 6, 2023, Westwood Fire Department responded in a call for mutual aid from Dedham Fire Department, for assistance in containing a two-alarm fire at a home at 111 Schiller Road in Dedham.
Westwood’s Car 3 and Engine 5 responded to the scene. Norwood Fire Department responded with its own Engine 5 and served as the Rapid Intervention Team, providing stand-by rescue for firefighting members. Boston Fire Department also assisted at the scene. Needham and Quincy Fire Departments provided station coverage.
The firefighters were able to extinguish the flames, and no injuries were reported, according to a Facebook post by Dedham Firefighters Local 1735.
I completely agree. Washington St. also has some terrible patches, especially the handicap ramps. I don’t understand why the DPW is responsible for clearing sidewalks in front of homes and businesses. It seems that those should be the responsibility of the property owner.
The sidewalks on High Rock and Hartford have been pretty treacherous this winter too. I didn't contact DPW about it though.
Cloudy , with a high of 42 and low of 26 degrees. Cloudy during the morning, sunny in the afternoon, partly cloudy during the evening, overcast overnight.
A true hero, though I'm not sure about the naming of the intersection after him. We already have a school named after him. Is there no one else who dedicated their life to this Town that the intersection could be named in memory of?
Thanks for the comment. Perhaps other candidates for a named intersection might be considered by the Select Board if presented with a petition or similar process as what was used here.
