Rehoboth Fire Department assisted three different towns throughout the week

REHOBOTH, Mass. (WLNE) — The Rehoboth Fire Department said Saturday that they’ve helped assist three other neighboring towns throughout the week for the first time ever.

“All 3 Tankers have gone mutual aid in a single week to assist 3 different towns,” said the department in a Facebook post.

One of their tankers responded to assist a structure fire in Seekonk, which is a district without a fire hydrant. Another tanker assisted Attleboro firefighters for a large brush fire. A tanker went to help the Mattapoisett Fire Rescue at the boat yard fire on Friday.

The department said “we know that all 3 of these towns would respond to assist Rehoboth if needed. The system works for the benefit of all.”
