Plymouth Fire Department Shares Safety Tips Ahead of Expected Extreme Cold Weather
PLYMOUTH —Chief Neil Foley and the Plymouth Fire Department would like to share safety precautions with residents ahead of the expected extreme cold weather.
At this time, the National Weather Service has issued a Wind Chill Warning from 10 a.m. Friday through 10 a.m. Saturday. Dangerously cold wind chills are expected — as low as 30 below zero. The lowest wind chills are expected Friday night. Wind chills that low could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.
The Town of Plymouth’s Main Library Branch and Manomet Library Branch will be open as warming centers to the public this weekend. The Main Library Branch, 132 South St., will be open on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The Manomet Library Branch, 12 Strand Ave., will be closed on Friday but open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
The Plymouth Fire Department wishes to share the following tips to help keep residents safe in cold weather situations and conditions:
- Reduce outdoor activities for the whole family.
- Remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pets.
- Don’t keep your pets outdoors for long periods of time during very cold weather. Look for signs that your pet’s feet are uncomfortably cold, which could include them frequently lifting up their paws, whining, or stopping.
- Never leave a pet locked inside a car during extremely cold weather.
- Minimize travel. Keep a winter survival kit in your vehicle if you must travel. Check tire pressure, antifreeze levels, heater/defroster, etc. before leaving.
- Dress in several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight clothing instead of a single heavy layer. Outer garments should be tightly woven and water repellent. Wear a hat, mittens (not gloves), and sturdy waterproof boots to protect your arms, legs, hands and feet. Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs.
- Know the signs of frostbite and hypothermia. Call 9-1-1 to report emergencies.
- Be a good neighbor. Check on family, friends, and neighbors, especially the elderly, those who live alone, those with medical conditions, and those who may need extra help.
- Follow recommended safety precautions when using space heaters, a fireplace, or a woodstove to heat your home. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
- Never use an oven to heat your home.
- Space heaters:
- Plug space heaters directly into wall outlets. Do not use an extension cord, even a heavy-duty one.
- Turn off a space heater when you leave the room or when you go to bed. Never leave a space heater unattended or running while you sleep.
- Put heaters on a level surface away from places where someone might bump into it and knock it over.
- Buy heaters that are tested and labeled by a nationally recognized testing company.
- Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment.
- Make sure emergency generators or secondary heating systems are well ventilated.
- Make sure there are working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home and outside each bedroom. Should alarms sound, immediately leave the house and call 911 from outside or from a neighbor’s house.

Plymouth Fire Department Invites Community Members to Sign Up for Basic Shelter Operations Course
PLYMOUTH — Emergency Management Director Christian Horvath and the Plymouth Fire Department would like to invite community members to register for an upcoming Basic Shelter Operations course this Monday.
WHEN:
Monday, Jan.9, from 5-8 p.m.
WHERE:
Plymouth Emergency Operations Center, 2209 State Road (Behind the Cedarville Fire Station)
WHAT:
This free three-hour interactive sheltering course, taught by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), provides a high-level introduction to basic shelter operations.
This course was developed in collaboration with MEMA, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Delvalle Institute, the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and the Western Region Homeland Security Council with the common goal of improving shelter coordination and sharing information across the Commonwealth.
The main topics covered in this course will be:
- Defining a Shelter
- Types of Shelters
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Operational Guidelines
“As a Town that’s as large as we are, our goal is to be able to run a shelter without needing to reach out for assistance,” said Director Horvath. “This course will provide the knowledge necessary for our different town departments, offices and local organizations to learn more about the basic operations of a shelter and what roles and responsibilities there are. We encourage anyone interested to attend.”
This course is ideal for those that have a role in or wish to have a role in shelter planning and operations. Those wishing to attend must register prior to the event. To register for this course or for more information, click here.
