On Sunday July 16, Gardner Fire, assisted by The MA District 6 Hazardous Materials Team responded to a major refrigeration leak at 384 Timpany Blvd. The store was evacuated and ventilation was set up. The Haz-Mat Team used their specialized metering equipment to evaluate the atmosphere in the store. Once the situation was deemed safe for everyone the store was allowed to reopen. Gardner Police and the Gardner Board of Health also assisted on scene. MedStar Paramedic 2 stood by as a precaution.

Its already been a busy Holiday weekend for the GFD. Crews have responded to multiple calls through out the City including this one car MVA rollover. The accident actually happened in Ashburnham with the suv rolling over and landing in Gardner taking down a telephone pole and live wires. Luckily the driver only sustained minor injuries. Please have a safe Holiday!

With the high heat, the ground is drying out quickly. Gardner Fire Group 3 and Westminster Fire responded to this brush fire in the median strip along Rt 2 this afternoon.
