Today, we welcomed a new rescue truck into service, with another arriving soon. Rescue 3 & 4 are among the busiest EMS units in the nation, answering 12K+ calls a year. These upgrades give our firefighters the tools to respond quickly & keep Providence safe.

At 2pm today, members of the PFD responded to Clemence and Washington Streets for a reported explosion. FF's determined a small underground electrical fire, causing a manhole to dislodge. There is no immediate danger or threat to the public. This will be turned over to RI Energy.
