Residents Reminded to Celebrate the Fourth Safely; Fireworks Are Illegal Statewide: As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, we would like to remind residents to celebrate safely and note that the recreational use of fireworks is illegal in Massachusetts.

While the Fourth of July is meant for celebration, residents should celebrate safely. If you are attending a party, remember to drink responsibly and never operate a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If swimming, ensure that no child swims alone, and be mindful of changes in open-water conditions, such as currents or cold water temperatures. When boating, always wear a life jacket.

Additionally, fireworks should be left to the professionals.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, there have been more than 550 fires and explosions involving illegal fireworks in Massachusetts in the past five years. Six firefighters were injured in these incidents, and damages were estimated at nearly $1 million.

The possession, use and sale of fireworks without a professional license is against the law in Massachusetts and punishable by confiscation, fine or imprisonment. Fines range from $100 to $1,000, and some violations could carry a one-year prison sentence.

We received word this morning that due to current staffing challenges within the Police Department, along with 3 Officers currently out recovering from injuries sustained while on duty, that the Dighton Police Department is unable to compete in the softball game on Sunday May 31st at the cow chip. We are grateful for the work that they do and look forward to rescheduling that game in the future We are hoping for a speedy recovery of the injured officers and ask that everyone please keep them in your thoughts as they recover.

With that the game will go on as scheduled with a guest team.

The game is still on!! Unfortunately the Police had to step out of the game due to a few injuries to police officers. We are going to have a “guest team” in their place. Please wear blue to support the new team.
