Fire Alarm Upgraded to Code Red at Webster Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare Rockland

Rockland, Mass. — Fire Alarm Upgraded to Code Red at Webster Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare

Emergency crews responded Thursday morning after a fire alarm at Webster Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare, located at 56 Webster Street in Rockland, was upgraded to a Code Red, indicating an escalated emergency response at the skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility.

According to information from CrimeRadar, the incident began as a fire alarm before being upgraded to Code Red. A Code Red typically signals that firefighters are responding under the assumption that there may be an active fire or other serious emergency requiring immediate action. However, as of publication, officials have not confirmed whether firefighters located an active fire, smoke condition, or another hazard inside the building.

The facility, situated on Webster Street (Route 123) in Rockland, is well known throughout the South Shore and has previously been the scene of a major emergency. In November 2025, a three-alarm fire forced the evacuation of all 102 residents after flames broke out on the third floor. That incident drew firefighters and EMS crews from dozens of surrounding communities and resulted in significant smoke and water damage, though no serious injuries were reported. Investigators later determined the blaze likely began as an accidental electrical event involving a ceiling fan.

Because of that history, any new fire alarm at Webster Park is likely to generate a rapid and substantial response from local firefighters and mutual aid agencies.

At this time, Rockland Fire Department has not released information indicating the cause of Thursday’s Code Red activation, whether residents needed to be evacuated, or if anyone was injured. It also remains unknown whether the alarm was caused by smoke, a mechanical malfunction, or another emergency.

Fire departments routinely investigate every Code Red alarm to ensure the safety of residents, staff, and emergency personnel before determining whether occupants can safely remain inside the building or return after an evacuation.

Motorists traveling along Webster Street Thursday morning may have noticed an increased presence of fire apparatus and emergency vehicles in the area while crews investigated the incident.

This remains a developing story. Additional details, including the cause of the alarm, the extent of the response, and whether any fire or smoke damage occurred, are expected to be released once officials complete their investigation.
