RAYNHAM — On Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026, at about 1:50 p.m., firefighters with the Raynham Fire Department responded to an ice rink at 1568 Broadway after a fire alarm activation.
According to Raynham Fire Chief Bryan LaCivita, when crews arrived on scene, they found that a smoke detector had activated in the rink’s mechanical room.
“As crews made their way through the rink to investigate, they saw an ammonia alarm beacon flashing and requested hazardous materials assistance,” Chief LaCivita said. “A Massachusetts Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Division team responded as part of a Tier 2 hazardous materials response.”
Initial readings taken by crews showed elevated ammonia levels in the rink’s mechanical area.
In a statement issued Nov. 11, Chief LaCivita said the rink was closed. The Fire Department asked the public to avoid the area while crews remained on scene.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the leak remains under investigation.
