📰 News we're reading

• Well at Little Compton Fire Station Contaminated with PFAS (ecori.org) — Little Compton’s fire station well has tested above Rhode Island’s PFAS standard, but officials say the contaminated source is used mainly for washing trucks, not for kitchen faucets or drinking water. Nearby public buildings tested below the limit, and the station’s filtered drinking water is within standards, though officials are planning PFAS-free gear and future testing at the town dump and transfer station.
   

• Tiverton firefighters handle truck crash, excavator fire (coastalabc.com) — Little Compton residents may want to know their fire department supported Tiverton crews at an excavator fire, supplying extra water from a tanker in a remote area. The busy day also included a propane truck crash and multiple medical calls, with mutual aid from Fall River and Westport helping ensure every emergency was covered.
