Dispatcher Paul Reed Retirement: The Dighton Fire Department would like to recognize and thank, Dispatcher Paul Reed, for his dedicated service to the Town of Dighton. Paul not only served as a dispatcher, but also as a police officer and a firefighter for this department for many years. It was a true honor to not only work side by side with you, but also to have you on the other end of the radio to answer the call in our Public Safety Communications Center. Thank you for your support in all your roles to this department, it is much appreciated. We wish you the best of luck and happy and healthy retirement.

Today, we want to take a moment to recognize an act of quick thinking, courage, and selflessness. Dighton Council on Aging Program Manager, Trista Tate was presented with the American Heart Association’s Heartsaver Hero Award.

When faced with a frightening situation—a person choking and in distress—Trista didn’t freeze. Instead, she stepped forward, stayed calm under pressure, and performed the abdominal thrusts that ultimately saved a life.

It’s easy to overlook how incredible that is. In a moment where every second counts, Trista acted with confidence and care. Her actions remind us of the power of being prepared, staying aware, and looking out for one another.

On behalf of the Dighton Fire Department, I want to say: thank you, Trista. We’re proud of you—and grateful.

Dighton Fire Department Reminds Residents That Fireworks Are Illegal Statewide: As the Fourth of July holiday approaches quickly, we would like to remind residents that the recreational use of fireworks is illegal in Massachusetts.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, there have been more than 550 fires and explosions involving illegal fireworks in Massachusetts in the past five years. Six firefighters were injured in these incidents, and damages were estimated at nearly $1 million.

Between 2019 and 2023, Massachusetts medical facilities treated more than 200 people for burns and other injuries associated with fireworks. Two dozen people were treated for severe burn injuries that covered 5% or more of the victim's body.

The possession, use and sale of fireworks without a professional license is against the law in Massachusetts and punishable by confiscation, fine or imprisonment. Fines range from $100 to $1,000, and some violations could carry a one-year prison sentence.

Please leave fireworks to the professionals!
