• From rubble to rescue: Mass. firefighters train to save lives trapped in collapse (firerescue1.com) — Oxford firefighters are among 27 from across Massachusetts completing an intensive 80-hour technical rescue course in Bridgewater, sharpening skills for building collapses and heavy-object rescues. The free state-run program teaches advanced cutting, shoring, and stabilization techniques so local departments like Oxford’s are better prepared for rare but high-risk emergencies close to home.
