Fire destroys home in Winthrop while owner is at Red Sox game, fire officials say
Fire officials say that a home went up in flames in Winthrop on Saturday as the owner was at a Red Sox game. It happened around 7:30 p.m. on Trident Avenue. There were no injuries reported as no one was home at the time, according to officials. Fire Chief Scott Wiley said that the crew only had seven firefighters on duty at the time. "So, I came out here and I couldn't see anything was filled with. It was filled with smoke, and then as the smoke began to clear, the fire was just raging. There was nothing left of that house," neighbor Michelle Rosner said. Wiley said they expected to demolish the building on Saturday, but will instead take it down on Sunday morning. "It's an old building, there's a lot of contents in this building, somewhat structurally compromised to begin with," Wiley said. "Now everything that was on the first floor is trapped underneath, and we can't get to the hotspots." The cause of the fire is being investigated. Neighbors to homes after Winthrop fire Neighboring homes only received mild structural damage from the flames. Wiley said the vinyl siding had melted off, and a car was damaged, but residents will be able to get back into their houses for the evening. "Kudos to the Winthrop fire department for getting this under control as quickly as they did because they could've been really disastrous for the whole block," Rosner said. "There's a big tree between my house and this house, so I really didn't know what was gonna happen," said nearby resident Paul Crowley. "What we call on the beach streets here in Winthrop, where we're pretty close to each other, and it's really important that we have a fast response," said Winthrop town councilor John Doros. "I think that just reinforces that we don't need more density in Winthrop," Rosner said.

Lawmakers weigh creating commission that would monitor EMS services in Massachusetts
Massachusetts lawmakers are taking a closer look at the state's emergency medical services and a mother who couldn't get an ambulance to respond when her daughter was dying testified in favor of the decision on Wednesday. Lawmakers are considering whether to create a commission that would look at EMS services statewide, including their funding, response times, staffing and recruitment issues. 2-year-old died without ambulance In January 2024, Andrea Feeley's 2-year-old daughter, Yuna, stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest at their home in Winthrop. Feeley called for EMS but an ambulance was not readily available. Winthrop's fire chief ended up driving Yuna to Mass General Hospital in his own SUV with crews in the back trying to save her life but she did not make it. At the time, the tragedy sparked a conversation about ambulance services, specifically mutual aid services where Winthrop is required by state law to share with other communities when they need an ambulance. Winthrop Town Manager Tony Marino said the town is "deeply concerned about the impact of the mutual aid system and ambulance availability in the town of Winthrop." Bills call for EMS commission panel At the State House on Wednesday, Feeley said this should never happen to someone again. "I honestly feel, that if an ambulance was available, Yuna would have had a better chance at survival," said Feeley. "We miss her every day." Right now, there are two separate bills in the House and Senate on the matter. Both call for creative a panel of lawmakers, ambulance groups and others to produce a report on EMS services statewide and some possible fixes.

Second Read trial comes to an end
Winthrop The verdict in the second Karen Read trial demonstrates serious distrust of the police. Small law-enforcement misdeeds add up over time. The result: systemic distrust. Stephen Jacobson Eastham Often, when prosecutors charge a person with a crime, the defense tries to essentially shrink the evidence — to get the court to exclude it, or to argue that it shouldn't be believed, so there won't be enough left to find the defendant guilty. Advertisement At a minimum, for the good of the Commonwealth, this trial demands that law enforcement reread the law, reread the Constitution, and reread their oaths.
