Cocoanut Grove Fire: Made America Safer

The tragic story of the Cocoanut Grove Fire on Piedmont Street near downtown Boston is a telling reminder of how important progress is often etched from terrible beginnings. On Nov. 28, 1942, more than 492 people died from wounds sustained in the fast-moving gaseous inferno engulfing the small nightclub, marking it the second-worst fire in United States history. Frantic efforts by medical personnel to save lives, and the very public investigation which unfolded in the days following, led to unpr

Massachusetts’ female police officers — a 138-year history

• Women first entered law enforcement before the turn of the 20th century. “Police matrons,” as they were called, assisted in the care of women and girls held in custody. Boston appointed its first police matron in 1883.

NEW: How to Teach Your Teens to Save Themselves

How to Teach Your Teens to Save Themselves

It’s not an overstatement to say kids are distracted by their phones. We all are. But what does this do to their ability to take care of themselves? In terms of personal safety, it creates a perfect opportunity for them to stumble into very dangerous situations.

Why? Because they’re not paying attention to their immediate surroundings. Teaching your teens the fundamentals of situational awareness can undisputedly save their lives.

It is a tactic used

Summer Safety Tips for Pet Safety

It turns out, nothing kills more pets during the summer months than heatstroke.

As animal safety experts warn, our furry friends cannot regulate their internal temperatures as easily as we can. Humans sweat – which cools us off much faster than any method a dog uses.

But dogs have fewer mechanisms for cooling off, relying on panting, breathing, and a process called vasodilation — a widening of the blood vessels — to rid their bodies of heat. Their paws, as well, contain sweat glands that are a

Summer Drownings' Surge

It’s the perfect storm – pent-up energy mixed with hot weather adds up to what may be one of Massachusetts’ worst years on record for drownings. In 2021 alone, at least 47 people have died by drowning, a record that is on pace to break the 2020 high of 125 drowning deaths. Locally, the drownings have come swiftly, spanning lakes, public beaches, and private pools.

As the number of drownings accelerates across the state, leaders are responding with a combination of measures designed to curtail s

Courage First: Firefighters on Memorial Day

This Memorial Day, our country stopped to remember the many men and women who died fighting for our country in wars across the decades. Since its founding in the 19th century, Memorial Day has evolved into a symbolic celebration, not only of those who perished through conflict but also for those whose daily courage inspires our full respect and admiration.

Firefighters rank high on that list. One of the nation’s most hazardous occupations, there is little these professionals won’t do to save a

Police K9's Getting The Job Done

In Foxborough, Mass., K9 Drax received an officer’s send-off. Members of the Foxborough police and fire departments saluted the retired 3-year-old as he took his final ride with Officer Kurt Pollister. K9 Drax, a German/Dutch shepherd mix, suffered from an aggressive brain tumor. “Rest easy, Drax. Thank you for your dedicated service. We have the watch from here,” police posted on Facebook.

This show of admiration for an animal might strike some as odd in a world adrift in problems. Yet, the K9

Brush Fire Season Is Here

Massachusetts firefighters are working overtime this spring to keep up with brush fires breaking out across the state. Red flag warnings are being issued regularly as dry, windy conditions, aggravated by last summer’s sustained drought, create the perfect conditions for harmless backyard cookouts to break into deadly brush fires.

Firefighters are posting on Twitter and state officials are dispensing reminders for all of us to use common sense and follow the rules for backyard burns in Massachus

Take Advantage of That Clean Gym!

The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a long shadow on the question of how to maintain a clean and sanitized gym while running a successful, profitable business. The increased vigilance required by staff, the infrastructure investments, the heightened customer awareness coupled with suppressed demand all combine to swell both costs and risks.

Why Yoga Is Good For You: It might not be for the reasons that you think

Yoga’s come a long way, baby. No longer relegated to Far Eastern philosophy books, today’s yoga is more often aligned with Lululemon-wearing bohemians seeking enlightenment through self-expression. The practice has gone from a 5,000-year-old transcendental service of meditation and growth to an athletic performance dominated by young, bendy, photogenic people — many of whom sell yoga as a way to build sexy bodies without the strain and injury of harsher workouts. These energetic yoga teachers pu
