• From rubble to rescue: Mass. firefighters train to save lives trapped in collapse (firerescue1.com) — Firefighters from across Massachusetts are in Bridgewater this week, training at the Department of Fire Services campus next to Old Colony Correctional Center to handle building collapses and heavy-rescue scenarios. For local residents, it means more emergency crews statewide are learning advanced skills right in town, using specialized tools and shoring techniques without departments bearing steep out-of-state training costs.
