NAFD Bucket Brigade
The Bucket Brigade is back again this year, the North Attleborough Fire Department will be delivering five-gallon buckets with a mix of sand and rock salt to eligible residents for the winter season to be used on walkways and driveways. The salt buckets will be refilled as needed throughout the winter upon request.
The program is offered to any North Attleborough resident over the age of 60 who lives in a private residence. Those who live in assisted living facilities or apartment and/or condo complexes aren't eligible to receive the buckets. Residents should note that the fire department will not be spreading the salt buckets, but that each resident will need to either do so themselves or have someone do it for them if they are unable.
Buckets will be delivered beginning on December 7th. Residents do not need to be home at the time their bucket is dropped off. The buckets will be picked up tentatively on March 29, weather dependent. Please note, we are unable to allow residents to keep the bucket outside of the season. This ensures we can provide the program to as many people as possible each year.
This program is being funded through a Senior SAFE grant the department received through the Department of Fire Services. The North Attleborough Department of Public Works will be providing the salt/sand mix.
To sign up for the program, please submit an application.
The program will be available to the first 200 seniors who respond.
