• Natural Gas-Powered Garbage Truck Catches Fire In Canton: FD (patch.com) — Canton firefighters quickly contained a fire in a compressed natural gas-powered garbage truck on Windmill Lane in North Canton, despite the challenge of operating in an area without hydrants. With help from a Barkhamsted tanker and coordination with state environmental officials, crews stopped the blaze without injuries and highlighted the value of both volunteer and daytime paid firefighters in protecting the community.
• How Reliable Is The Power In Canton? Recent Report Has The Answer (patch.com) — Canton residents experienced fewer power outages than the state average in 2025, but those outages tended to last significantly longer, according to Eversource’s new reliability scorecard. The report details how often local customers lost power, how long restorations took, and the leading causes of interruptions, with trees still responsible for about 80 percent of outages. It also outlines ongoing grid upgrades and tree-trimming work in town.
