Thank you to everyone who stopped by the station last week to contribute. If you missed the bin at the station but still wish to donate before Thanksgiving, you can bring items directly to the Holliston Pantry Shelf on Charles Street. 🦃

Come warm up at the @hollistonlib at 10:15 AM, as Chief Cassidy reads specially selected books to the kids. It’s the perfect way to spend a chilly morning—meeting a community helper and discovering the magic of reading.

On Thurs, Nov 13, 2025, from 7am to 6pm, the dept will be accepting donations of non-perishable items for the Holliston Pantry Shelf. There will be a clearly marked bin outside the front door of the fire station. Thank you for being so supportive of our neighbors!

Charging something big like an e-bike, scooter, or power tool with a lithium ion battery? Do it outside. Use a flat, dry area away from direct sunlight, anything wet, kids, or tripping hazards. And make sure your bike or device is secure—so it doesn’t fall while charging.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW™) campaign, October 5-11, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” works to educate everyone about using these batteries safely. BUY, CHARGE, and RECYCLE safely when it comes to lithium-ion batteries.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆. Don’t throw lithium-ion batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins because they could start a fire. Visit https://t.co/VEJrCkGBoc to find a safe battery recycling spot near you.

Always use the cords that came with the product to charge. Follow the instructions. Buy new chargers from the mfg or one that the mfg has approved. Charge your device on a hard surface. Don’t overcharge your device. Unplug it or remove the battery when it’s fully charged.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘽𝙪𝙮 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙨. When buying a product that uses a lithium-ion battery look for a safety certification mark such as UL, ETL, or CSA. This means it meets important safety standards. #fpw

For 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, I visited MiVillage on October 6 to read 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘖𝘶𝘵! 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘖𝘶𝘵! by Charles Ghigna, a children's picture book focused on fire safety. It has a catchy, rhyming text designed to help young readers remember a crucial, life-saving

The theme for Fire Prevention Week 2025 (October 5-11) is "Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home." These batteries power our lives, but they need to be handled with care. Learn how to BUY, CHARGE, and RECYCLE them safely to prevent fires in your home.

Drills are a critical part of our safety plan. Practicing evacuations helps students and staff develop muscle memory and equip everyone with clear response options so they know exactly what to do in the event of an actual emergency. Thank you to everyone for participating.

Join us at 10:15 AM at @hollistonlib for a special story time with our very own fire chief! We'll be reading stories about firefighters and fire safety. It's a great opportunity for young children to learn about the vital work our firefighters do in a fun, friendly environment.
