HULL POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFERS HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS


Hull Police Department
Chief John Dunn
1 School Street
Hull, MA 02045

Hull Police Department Offers Halloween Safety Tips

HULL – Chief John Dunn and the Hull Police Department would like to offer residents some important safety tips as Halloween approaches to ensure everyone celebrates safely and responsibly.
Trick-or-treating hours in Hull are set for 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31.
“Trick-or-treating is an exciting activity for young kids, but we would like to remind parents that young children should not trick-or-treat without parental supervision,” Chief Dunn said. “Parents should be on guard and make sure they keep a close watch on their children as they go from house to house. Kids may sprint ahead or forget to look both ways across the street.”
The Hull Police Department recommends that residents follow safety tips outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics:
Dressing Up
  • Make sure that shoes fit well and costumes are short enough to prevent tripping. Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility.
  • If temperatures are cold during trick-or-treating time, be sure to have your kids wear long sleeves and warm clothing under their costume.
  • Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic makeup and decorative hats as safer alternatives. Hats should fit properly so they don't slide over eyes. Makeup should be tested ahead of time on a small patch of skin to make sure there will be no adverse reactions. 
  • When shopping for costume pieces, look for and purchase those with a label clearly indicating they are flame resistant.
  • If a sword, cane or stick is a part of your child's costume, make sure it is not sharp or long. A child may be easily hurt by these accessories if he or she stumbles or trips.


Pumpkins
  • Small children should never carve pumpkins. Children can draw a face with markers before parents do the cutting.
  • Consider lighting your pumpkin with a flashlight or glow stick instead of a candle to avoid a fire hazard. If you use a candle, a votive candle is safest.
  • Candlelit pumpkins should be placed on a sturdy table, away from curtains and other flammable objects and not on a porch or in a path where visitors may pass close by. Lit pumpkins should never be left unattended.
Trick-or-Treating
  • A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children.
  • If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you and send them with a cellphone. Agree on a specific time when they should return home.
  • Pedestrian injuries are very common on Halloween. Remind kids to stay in a group. They should remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. If there is not a sidewalk, walk at the far edge of the street facing traffic. Only cross the street as a group and in a crosswalk. Never cross between parked cars or out of driveways and never cut across yards or through alleys.
  • Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat.
  • Review with children how to call 911 if they have an emergency or become lost.
  • Always check your kids' candy for signs of tampering and throw away candy that appears to have been opened, even partially.
Keeping Your Home Safe for Trick-or-Treaters
  • Remove any objects from your porch or walkways that could put children in danger of tripping, including garden hoses, toys, bikes and lawn decorations. Sweep wet leaves or snow from sidewalks and steps.
  • Check outdoor lights and replace burned-out bulbs.
  • Restrain pets so they do not jump on or bite a trick-or-treater or run away.
As always, any suspicious person or vehicle should immediately be reported to Hull Police by dialing 911.

SCHEDULE OF ROADS TO BE RESURFACED



To view the schedule of roads to be resurfaced click on the following link: Schedule of Roads to be Resurfaced

Crescent Beach Seawall Update


Dear Residents:
I am writing to update you on the status of the seawall capping repairs for the Crescent Beach Project. On August 22, 2019, the Town received five (5) bids for the project.  After review of all bids the most qualified low bidder, Northern Construction Services LLC, was awarded the contract in the amount of $1,177,790 dollars.   Northern Construction has performed many concrete seawalls project and has a good reputation.  We are satisfied that we have a qualified contractor on site.  The contract was issued on September 25, 2019.  On October 2, 2019 the pre-construction meeting was held.  Northern will start mobilization of the project this week.

I am attaching an excerpt from the bid documents that provide a brief narrative of the steps that Northern will follow to get the work completed over the next 120 days.  Please note that this is a narrative that is intended to provide a summary of the sequence of the steps to be taken to complete the repair project.  There is a much more detailed bid document that specifies stone size, quantity, Stone placement conditions and other work site control issues.

The project consists of but is not limited to the following:

        Concrete capping of approximately 538 linear feet of existing seawall

        Replacement of approximately 30 linear feet of seawall that was removed to provide construction access to the revetment fronting the seawall

        Build a stone buttress on the landside of the seawall approximately 132 feet in the area of the rotated wall sections to give additional support to the seawall

On October 8, 2019, Northern will walk through the project area with the inspector and engineers to discuss means, methods and issues.  Part of this will be to determine is any area not currently included in the project’s easement will be needed for construction access.  If any parcels are needed Northern will request a Land Use Agreement (LUA).

Our engineer and staff have confidence that the current repair plan will meet our goal to have the seawall cap installed which will provide residents with added protection until the lawsuit against the project’s original contractor can be resolved.

If you have any questions please do hesitate to contact me.

Phil Lemnios
Town Manager
