Look out for bikers (who may be accidentally flashing you).
Just as drinking and driving don't mix, neither do dresses and motorcycle driving. A woman on Monday afternoon told a Wendy's employee in Milford that a woman wearing a "pink flowered dress" had flashed her. An officer reported it didn't sound like an indecent exposure incident, but rather, a biker who didn't cover herself up enough.
Mutual aid was not required for this "fire."
Officials have warned about the high threat of brush fires this week, and at least one area resident was particularly vigilant and on the lookout for anything that might need to be reported. In the wee small hours of the morning Wednesday, a Holliston resident called in what was believed to be a fire. Emergency responders soon learned the resident had mistaken ambulance lights for a fire.
He wasn't going to hang around and wait for the cops to show up.
There is rarely as shortage of animal related calls to local police departments; this week was no exception. In Northborough, a resident called animal control about a raccoon under the deck. he officer responded, but the raccoon was no longer there.
