Rain and the Doors

With all the rainy weather we've been having this week, just a reminder that when it rains, both the front and back wooden doors swell and will sometimes not close all the way on their own. When you go in or out please take a moment to make sure that the door is fully closed and latched. Not much sense in trying to have a secure building if people go around leaving the doors open. Thanks!

Salem Commuter Rail Drill!

The MBTA is looking for volunteers from the public to participate in a Salem Commuter Rail Drill!

Sunday morning, June 2nd, 2013 the MBTA, MBCR, and City of Salem will be conducting a joint commuter rail emergency evacuation drill in Salem. For added realism, we are looking for volunteers to act in the role of passengers during a simulated Halloween incident. Costumes are encouraged but optional.

This is a great opportunity for residents of Salem to support public safety efforts in their community. Volunteers will experience first-hand a train evacuation coordinated by first responders inside a tunnel. Food will be served, all volunteers will receive a participation certificate and participation counts as four credit hours for EMTs.
