Three Massachusetts firefighters have died by suicide in the past two weeks.
Three families are facing a loss that can never be repaired. Three departments are grieving. Three brothers who should still be here.
And we have to ask ourselves: How do we stop the madness?
How do we create a fire service where saying “I’m not okay” isn’t seen as weakness?
How do we learn to open up about the things we see, hear, smell, and carry with us long after the call is over?
Because the truth is, we see trauma day in and day out. We walk into people’s worst moments. We see death. We see children hurt. We see families shattered. We hold strangers in their darkest moments—and then we’re expected to go home, sleep, wake up, and do it all again.
Somewhere along the way, we’ve convinced ourselves that being tough means keeping it all inside.
It doesn’t.
Asking for help isn’t weakness. Talking to someone isn’t weakness. Admitting that a call affected you isn’t weakness. Sitting down with a brother or sister and saying, “I need you right now,” isn’t weakness.
It’s how we survive.
We need to stop waiting until someone reaches the edge. We need to check on each other—not just after the really bad calls, but every day. We need to make it normal to talk about mental health in the firehouse. We need leadership that listens, peers who recognize the signs, and a culture where getting help is viewed as an act of strength.
Three firefighters in two weeks is three too many.
Please, check on your people. Check on the quiet ones. Check on the ones who always say they’re fine.
And if you’re the one struggling, please don’t suffer in silence.
Your brothers and sisters need you here.
We have to do better. We have to talk. We have to listen.
We have to stop losing our own. 🖤🚒

The BRRHS Lady Trojans' incredible season came to an end with a tough 10-0 loss to a talented Attleboro Blue Bombardiers team in the Elite 8. While the result wasn't what they hoped for, reaching the Elite 8 is a tremendous accomplishment and a testament to the hard work, dedication, and heart this team showed all season long. Congratulations to the Lady Trojans on an amazing run and a season to be proud of. The future remains bright for Bridgewater-Raynham softball!

Claire Roy appeared to be headed for a force out at third, but an errant throw by Methuen's Ava Nartiff kept the inning alive and Claire in the game. The costly error opened the door for the BRRHS Lady Trojans, who capitalized on the opportunity and rolled to an 11-2 victory over Methuen.
With the win, the Lady Trojans punch their ticket to the Elite 8 and continue their postseason run. Congratulations and good luck in the next round! ⚾🥎 #elite8 #oneteamonefamily

Move Over. Slow Down. Pay Attention.
WEST BRIDGEWATER — At approximately 3 a.m., while firefighters and emergency personnel were already operating on the roadway to protect and save lives, another tragedy unfolded. A distracted driver—whether impaired by alcohol, drugs, a cell phone, or some combination of the three—plowed into West Bridgewater Fire Department Engine 2, causing catastrophic damage to the apparatus and placing first responders directly in harm's way.
The resulting destruction serves as a stark reminder of why Massachusetts' Move Over Law exists.
The law requires drivers approaching emergency vehicles with flashing lights to slow down and move over when it is safe to do so. Yet incidents like this continue to occur with alarming frequency, often because motorists are not paying attention until it is too late.
The image of Engine 2 tells the story better than words ever could. The rear of the apparatus was crushed and torn apart by the force of the collision. Debris was scattered across the roadway. What was once a critical piece of lifesaving equipment is now out of service.
Thankfully, fire trucks can be repaired or replaced. Firefighters and EMS personnel cannot.
Every time first responders step onto a highway or roadway, they accept a certain level of risk. They expect dangers from fire, medical emergencies, hazardous materials, and vehicle crashes. What they should not have to fear is being struck by drivers who fail to slow down, move over, or simply pay attention.
For a community the size of West Bridgewater, the loss of a front-line fire engine is not a minor inconvenience. Departments with limited resources depend heavily on every apparatus in their fleet. While insurance may cover some of the financial loss, the reality is that reimbursement is rarely immediate or complete. The amount recovered may depend heavily on the circumstances surrounding the other driver's actions and insurance coverage.
Even if funding is secured, replacing a modern fire engine is not as simple as writing a check. Fire apparatus manufacturers currently face significant production delays, and it can take one to two years—or longer—to design, build, and deliver a replacement engine. During that time, the department's firefighting capabilities are reduced, forcing reliance on reserve equipment, mutual aid, and operational adjustments.
The cost is measured not only in dollars, but in readiness.
This crash should outrage anyone who values the men and women who respond when their neighbors need help. Firefighters, EMTs, and police officers were already on scene doing their jobs—protecting the public in the middle of the night. Instead of focusing solely on the emergency at hand, they were forced to confront another preventable danger: a driver who failed to pay attention.
The message could not be clearer:
When you see emergency lights, slow down. Move over. Put the phone down. Never drive impaired. Pay attention.
Because the next vehicle destroyed might not be a fire engine.
And the next victims might not be as fortunate.
