🌬️ Not to be a Grinch, but with tomorrow's High Wind Watch in NYC, now is the perfect time to secure any outdoor furnishings and holiday decor that could become dislodged. Let’s make sure to keep any Santas on the loose to today only. 🤞

Today we remember Smithfield PD Sgt. Norman Vezina, who drowned 55 years ago today. After a young boy fell through the ice at a local pond, Sgt. Vezina entered the water to rescue him, because helping people is what police officers do. Sgt. Vezina is a true Smithfield hero.

Dry air and gusty west winds increase the threat of quick brush fire spread this afternoon and evening. Be careful with any spark or heat producing tools. If a brush fire is detected, dial 9-1-1 without delay.
