According to a post on the department’s Facebook page, at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 30, the New Bedford Fire Department received 911 calls regarding a boat on fire at the Pope’s Island Marina on Route 6. When firefighters arrived, they found a 30-foot pleasure craft fully involved in fire.
Two bystanders had cut the boat free from its mooring so that the fire could not spread to two adjacent boats. The burning vessel then came to rest in an empty mooring.
When fire units arrived, “long hose lays along the standpipe connections were required to reach the involved vessel,” the post reads. Engines 1, 6, and 7, along with Ladders 1 and 3, Command Units 1 and 2, and Marine 38 all responded to the fire. New Bedford Police, Massachusetts Environmental Police, and the Fairhaven Harbormaster all assisted at the scene. The Rapid Intervention Team, a three-man crew designed to rescue downed firefighters from buildings, was also deployed with water rescue suits and water rescue eq

ASHLAND Authorities on Friday found the body of a missing man they had been searching for at the Ashland State Park.
The man s body was located in the water by dive teams around 2 p.m., Police Chief Vincent Alfano said. The death is not suspicious.
Alfano said the man is from another community and had been missing for about five days. He said evidence led authorities to believe the man was somewhere in the park.
“There is nothing the general public should be worried about,” said Alfano. “There’s no danger and there is no foul play suspected.”
Police did not disclose the man s identity.
