Safety Day

Mark your calendars! 📆 The City of Gloucester’s Saftey Day 🚓🚑🚒🚧🛟 2025 will be held on Saturday, September 27th at Harbor Loop from 10AM to 2PM.

This years event will feature a helicopter 🚁 and rescue swimmer 🏊🏻 demonstration from the United States Coast Guard , a simulated car accident 🚗 extrication from the Gloucester Fire Department 🚒 as well as an bomb squad demonstration from the Massachusetts State Police 🚔 featurng their Boston Dynamics robot “Spot”.

On October 3, 2025, Fishing Partnership Support Services (FPSS) will be holding its free Fishermen’s First Aid & CPR course in Gloucester.

The FPSS safety team and community health workers, known as Navigators, will be on-hand at the DES Portuguese Club, 133 Prospect St. From 8 a.m.-4 p.m. FPSS maintains that fishermen are the first responders at sea. This CPR and First Aid Course is enhanced to teach life-saving skills to assess and treat injured or ill crew on board fishing vessels before emergency medical personnel arrive. Commercial fishermen who complete this training will receive a FREE First Aid Kit customized to fishing vessels (one per vessel). Adult First Aid/CPR/AED Certification meets USCG requirements under 46 CFR 28.2.1.

One of the most critical pieces of lifesaving equipment is a lifejacket. Falls overboard remain the second-leading cause of death in the commercial fishing industry, both regionally and nationally. Wearing a lifejacket greatly increases the chance of surviving a fall overboard. Our training provides fishermen with the opportunity to try on different types of lifejackets to find one that they can comfortably wear while working. In partnership with The Northeast Center for Occupational Health and Safety, FPSS is proud to offer training participants a 50% rebate toward a lifejacket of their choosing.  

Past attendees continue to speak positively about the relevance of training. As a recent attendee reported, “I have learned a lot of information that’ll help me on any type of boat.”  

Interested participants may register online by visiting fishingpartnership.org/calendar or by contacting Fishing Partnership Navigator Maria Carpenter at 774-770-5685or mcarpenter@fishingpartnership.org.

Experimenting with Mirror Lens

My sister Judy saw mirror lens attachments for cell phones advertised and thought I might be interested, so I ordered one. I thought you might be interested in the initial test results. Of course, our beautiful dahlias made perfect subjects for this test run. It’s fairly easy to use though I need some practice in positioning it to the best advantage. So far, I’d give this model a B rating (and the photographer gets a C) but I think it might get better with practice. There are several models available at very reasonable prices and this is a link to the one I choose: mirror lens.
