December 24, 2011


It is with deep regret that we must report that one firefighter has succumbed to his injuries sustained while operating today at a 3rd Alarm fire in Peabody, MA while battling a firethat occurred at 5 Hancock Street.

Peabody Firefighter James Rice died this afternoon while responding to a three-alarm fire in this North Shore city. He was 42 years old.

Peabody (MA) Firefighters were operating at a multi-family dwelling earlier this afternoon on Hancock Street. The fire went to a 2nd alarm and then the 3rd with reports of 1 Firefighter down in extremely critical condition and at least 2 other Firefighters injured seriously.
The fire was first reported at about 1330 hours and arriving companies reported heavy smoke. A short time later, Firefighters were ordered out of the building because of the conditions.  In addition to Peabody, Firefighters from Danvers, Salem and Lynnfield are also at the scene. The State Fire Marshal's office is now on the scene. Updates to follow. Keep'm in your prayers.
