Hingham Weather

“We have a great fire station that really addresses all the needs of the community.” said Allison Ferrante, chairman of the building committee in Hingham, Massachusetts.

Located in historic Hingham Centre the fire station was built in 1942.  Renovations and additions, completed this year, provide needed improvements and space.  See how nice the station looks in the video below.      

    Kayakers beware - an otherwise wonderful experience can turn quickly into a disaster! On September 2, 2007, Al Chambers a member of the Hingham Citizens  Emergency Response team, witnessed the rescue of five people - four in kayaks and one in a dory. The location was the West Corner Bridge - where Hingham, Cohasset and Hull meet.

     As boaters approach the area it appears tranquil but the combination of tides and strong currents can easily catch you off guard.  Good kayaking safety measures should be practiced at all times. Below is a short film of the area. 

Hingham needs to respond more creatively to economic changes and challenges coalescing worldwide. High costs and limited resources have people everywhere rethinking the design of housing, transportation and energy usage.

Restoring and promoting business activity in downtown Hingham is the goal of a BID or “Business Improvement District”. “The three major areas of concern relate to snow and ice removal, dumpster issues and parking” said, Judy Sneath Hingham’s Downtown Association Executive Director.  BIDs are special districts in which property owners vote to initiate, manage, and finance supplemental services above and beyond those provided by town government.
