The heat is on!

Here on the SouthCoast, things are really heating up as we prepare to welcome temperatures in the 90s and beyond for the next few days.

Fairhaven Firefighters Open Their Doors

Shared to its Facebook page, the Fairhaven Firefighters Association Local 1555 let the community know that its trucks would be available and so would the frozen treats.

"Looking for something to do with the kids to get out of this heat? Stop by the station and get a jumbo freeze pop and a tour of our trucks and station!" the post read.

The freeze pops are available while supplies last, the firefighters said.

The comments came pouring in after seeing the post with many excited for the news and the kind gesture as well as the great opportunity to visit the trucks.

Dating back to the beginning of the town (1887), a society was formed. The Fairhaven Protecting Society were comprised of volunteers who would work hard to save household goods once the firefighters fought the flames.

Now, the Fairhaven Fire Department consists of 31 firefighters and 12 call firefighters. They provide fire prevention, rescue, fire education, EMS and more for the community.
