Governor Healey Thanks Firefighters, Asks Public to Do Their Part to Contain Fire Risk

Press Release

“Massachusetts is experiencing a historic drought, which is resulting in brush fires across the state. I’m grateful to the firefighters and first responders who have been working hard, day in and day out, to keep their communities safe. We appreciate the immense effort and sacrifice they are putting in, and the risks they are facing. Drought conditions and wildfire risks are ongoing. There are steps everyone can take to minimize risk, protect their communities, conserve water and support our firefighters. Residents, businesses and facilities should minimize their water use as much as possible, and there should be no outdoor fires at this time. Our firefighters are working hard and making considerable sacrifices to battle these fires on our behalf. Let’s do all we can to avoid making their jobs any harder.”
