MEETING NOTICE
The October meeting of MIFDI will be held on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 hosted by the Cambridge Fire Department courtesy of A/Chief Thomas Cahill. MIFDI last met in Cambridge for our April 2014 meeting. The meeting will be held at the Cambridge Fire Training Division located at the quarters of Engine 3 & Ladder 2 located at 173 Cambridge St, East Cambridge opposite the Middlesex County Registry of Deeds.
The training presentation will be provided by Assistant Chief John Cotter with an overview on the new training prop constructed on the site at the rear of the firehouse. The new facility offers: Rappelling, Upper-level rescues, Forcible entry, Ventilation on an angled roof, Confined space rescues, Visibility challenges, and Standpipe operations. Cambridge was the first department in Massachusetts to achieve Class 1 status but would lose credit due to lack of a training facility. This new training structure now satisfies that needed requirement.
SCHEDULE:
0900 Coffee, 1000 Presentation, 1030 Tour of the Training Building, 1130 Business meeting, 1200 Lunch (Off site)
DIRECTIONS:
From the Mass Pike (I-90), take Exit 131 towards Cambridge. Follow River St straight onto Prospect St all the way to Cambridge St. Turn right on Cambridge St and follow 4-traffic lights, turn left on Third St and then first right on Gore St to the rear of the firehouse.
There is parking on Gore St, Second St, & Cambridge St but many of those spots are residential parking. It is suggested that we use the CambridgeSide Galleria parking garage at 88 First St. and walk a few blocks to the firehouse at Cambridge St & Second St. The CFD will offer parking vouches. There is HP parking at the firehouse for those that need it.
