December 25 Second Busiest Day for Home Fires – Make Fire Safety Part of Your Celebrations

Fire officials urge people to make fire safety an important part of planning for their holiday celebrations because more home fires happen on December 25 than any other single day in Massachusetts except Thanksgiving. “Firefighters are not the kind of guests you want during the winter holidays, so please make fire safety part of your celebrations,” said State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey. “Start by making sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home,” he said.

Cooking Leading Cause
Ostroskey said, “Cooking is the leading cause of fires in the home and the holiday season is no exception. It is important to remember two key things: Stand by Your Pan to prevent cooking fires and to Put a Lid on It if one does occur.” “Leaving cooking unattended, even for a minute, is the leading cause of fires,” said Ostroskey. When baking, use a timer, and stay nearby.

· On December 21, 2016, at 5:29 p.m., the Framingham Fire Department was called to a cooking fire in an apartment building. The fire was started when cooking oil on top of the stove ignited and extended to the cabinets. Smoke alarms were present and alerted the occupants and no one was injured at this fire. A single sprinkler head activated and extinguished the fire. The total estimated dollar loss was $8,000.

· On Christmas Day 2016, at 8:00 a.m., the Brockton Fire Department was called to a cooking fire in a two-family home. The cause was arcing from the electric stove. The home had no smoke alarms or sprinklers but fortunately no one was injured. The estimated dollar loss was $20,000.

Heating Second Leading Cause of Holiday Season Fires
Heating is the second leading cause of home fires during the holiday season. “Keep warm and keep safe by having the furnace and chimney checked by professionals, and when heating with wood, dispose of the ashes in a lidded metal ashcan outside the home,” reminded Ostroskey. A single ember can stay hot and undetected for days. Use the three foot rule and keep combustibles, like holiday decorations, three feet away from heat sources.

· On December 16, 2016, at 6:22 a.m., the Holliston Fire Department was called to a heating fire in a single-family home. The homeowners were using a woodstove and the fire is believed to have started in the chimney. Working smoke alarms alerted the occupants and no one was injured at this fire. The building was not sprinklered and the total estimated dollar loss from this fire was $325,000.

Heating Leading Source of CO in the Home
Heating is also the leading cause of carbon monoxide poisoning in the home and sadly we lost a father and son in Acushnet on December 7, 2016. They were overcome by the invisible fumes from a leaky furnace and had no carbon monoxide alarms in the home to warn them. Both smoke and CO alarms are required in Massachusetts homes.

Burn Candles inside a 1-Foot Circle of Safety
State Fire Marshal Ostroskey said, “Many of the holidays celebrated at this time of year use candles. Sadly, the increased candle use at this time of year also causes a boost in candle fires.” Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are among the December days when the most candle fires occur. Consider using battery-operated candles instead, especially if you have children or pets.

· On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2016, at 12:54 p.m., the Needham Fire Department was called to a candle fire in a mudroom in a single-family home. The candle ignited a nearby jacket. No one was injured at this fire. Alarms were present but it was undetermined if they operated. The building was not sprinklered and damages were estimated to be $5,000.

· On Christmas Day, December 25, 2016, at 10:09 p.m., the Southampton Fire Department was called to a candle fire in the kitchen of a single-family home. The candle ignited a nearby decoration. Alarms were present and operated and no one was injured at this fire. The building was not sprinklered and damages were estimated to be $100,000.

Christmas Tree Safety Tips
Although Christmas tree fires are rare these days, they are very serious when they do occur. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, one-third of home Christmas tree fires are caused by electrical problems and one-quarter start when the tree is placed too close to a heat source such as a fireplace, woodstove, radiator or space heater. Ostroskey said, “Always keep your Christmas trees watered, place it well away from a heat source, and dispose of them promptly after the holidays.”

New Bedford Man Pleads Guilty to Methamphetamine Charge

A New Bedford man pleaded guilty today in federal court in Boston for aiding and abetting the distribution of methamphetamine.

Alexander Gomes, 27, pleaded guilty today to one count of aiding and abetting the distribution of methamphetamine. U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper scheduled sentencing for March 14, 2018.

On Dec. 12, 2016, Gomes accompanied co-defendant Peter Lobo to a meeting with an undercover agent posing as a Maine methamphetamine dealer. At that meeting, Lobo distributed a half pound sample of methamphetamine to the agent. Lobo introduced Gomes to the undercover agent so that Gomes could conduct drug business when Lobo was out of town. Two days later, Gomes and Lobo meet the agent again, and the agent paid Lobo $4,000 for the half pound, and Lobo gave an additional four pounds of methamphetamine to the agent. Lobo and Gomes were arrested shortly after they began to drive away. At the time of their arrest, Lobo had $3,000 in his pocket and Gomes had $1,000 hidden in his sock. Subsequent drug analysis determined that the substance consisted of approximately 1,777 grams of 99% pure d-methamphetamine hydrochloride, also known as “Ice.”

Lobo pleaded guilty to distributing methamphetamine, and on Nov. 29, 2017, he was sentenced to five years in prison.

Gomes faces a sentence of no greater than 20 years in prison, a minimum of three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $1 million. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Michael J. Ferguson, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, New England Field Office, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Theodore B. Heinrich of Weinreb’s Narcotics and Money Laundering Unit is prosecuting the case.




Fall River Man To Be Arraigned on Manslaughter Charge Connected to Weekend Bar Fight Death

A 27-year-old Fall River man who allegedly threw a punch during a bar fight in Fall River last Friday that led to the death of a 37-year-old Assonet man, has turned himself in to authorities and will be arraigned on a charge of Manslaughter in Fall River District Court later this afternoon.

On Friday, December 8 at around 2 am, Fall River Police responded to the Belmont Club for a report of a fight at the bar. Upon arrival, police located the victim as he was regaining consciousness. The victim was identified as Bryce Sabol, 37, of Assonet. (The victim previously resided in Leominster)

Mr. Sabol was transported to Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River before being transferred to Rhode Island Hospital. While at Rhode Island Hospital, the victim again lost consciousness and, although still on a ventilator awaiting organ harvesting for donation, was declared deceased on December 9.

The investigation revealed the victim and another man got into a verbal argument inside the bar and took the fight outside. While the victim and the other man were engaged in a fight, witnesses reported seeing the defendant, Pholla Mao, 27, of Fall River, approach Mr. Sabol from the side and punch him once in the head. The victim was knocked off his feet and was unconscious for a matter of minutes prior to the arrival of police on scene.

The defendant turned himself in at the Fall River District Court this afternoon. He will be arraigned sometime after 2 pm today on a charge of Manslaughter.

The arraignment will be handled by Assistant District Attorney Jason Mohan.

The ongoing investigation is being conducted by detectives from the Fall River Police Department’s Major Crimes Division and State Police Troopers assigned to District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn’s office.

Bishop Stang High School Senior Achieves Eagle Scout Rank

Bishop Stang High School senior, Jeffry McDougal, recently achieved the rank of Eagle, an accomplishment that only about 4% of all Scouts earn. Each Eagle Candidate must plan and supervise an Eagle Service Project. This Service Project demonstrates a Scout’s capacity and willingness to exert his leadership ability in activities that are constructive and worthwhile in his community. Under Jeffry’s leadership in October 2016, the troop completed the no-sew fleece blanket service project. When Jeffry’s Eagle Project was finished he was able to deliver just under 50 blankets to My Brother’s Keeper in North Dartmouth. Those blankets were incorporated into Christmas gift baskets last year which were donated to needy families in the greater New Bedford area.

Jeffry completed his Board of Review on May 22, 2017 and was presented with his Eagle Scout rank medal during his Eagle Court of Honor on Sunday, December 3rd. Jeffry presented his BSA Mentor Pin to Mr. Daniel Dias, who has been a positive role model in Jeffry’s life. At Bishop Stang, Mr. Dias has been Jeffry’s guidance counselor, teacher and football coach over the past four years.

Mr. Dias shared at the event, “Earning the rank of Eagle Scout requires dedication, sacrifice, hard work, and determination, all of these qualities which you have in spades… A young man who puts others first, Jeffry is a treasured member of the Bishop Stang family.”

– You like talking – a lot – even to strangers (despite what your Mom told you). This is important, because you’re not able to text message customers.
– You’ve got attitude – the right kind of course – and understand the need to be on time, all the time. With loads of energy, you understand that work is easier – and more fun – working as a team.
– And you’re at least 16 years old.

Fall River Man Sentenced to Prison For Sexually Assaulting Child

A 31 year old Fall River man who sexually assaulted a juvenile female in the home he shared with the girl and her mother has been sentenced to serve between eight and ten years in state prison along with five years of probation after his release, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III announced.

Jonathan Vasquez pleaded guilty today in Fall River Superior Court to a multi-count indictment charging him with two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 years of age, assault with intent to rape a child, aggravated statutory rape of a child, and violation of a restraining order. The defendant also pleaded guilty to two counts of using a tool with intent to escape when he twice tried to use a key to unlock his handcuffs after he was arrested and in custody at the Fall River Police Department.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Silvia Rudman and the prison sentence was imposed by Judge Sharon Donatelle.

“The sexual assaults committed by the defendant against a nine year old child are despicable and can have a lifelong impact,” District Attorney Quinn said. “The defendant took advantage of an innocent child because he had the opportunity to do so. The ten year sentence holds the defendant accountable for his very offensive criminal behavior. I hope the victim can move forward with her life.”
