In the image shared by Aerosmith, Tyler wrapped his arm around a first responder as he posed with six dispatchers at the center in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Plymouth County Control is an agency that coordinates fire and emergency services for the county, working with 29 private fire departments and ambulance companies.

Representatives for Tyler and Plymouth County Control did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment.

The four-time Grammy Award winner’s visit comes after local first responders were traumatized by an incident at a Duxbury home on Tuesday where three children were found injured and their mother was hospitalized after a suicide attempt.

Two of the three children – Cora Clancy, 5, and Dawson Clancy, 3 – died on Tuesday. Seven-month-old Callan, hospitalized in critical condition, died on Friday.

“(Friday), at approximately 12:30 p.m., the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner contacted Massachusetts State Police assigned to our office to report that at 11:18 a.m. (Friday), Clancy’s third child was pronounced dead at Boston Children’s Hospital,” the Plymouth District Attorney’s Office said in a statement to media.

The children’s mother, Lindsay Clancy, 32, is accused of strangling her three young children before attempting suicide.

She currently faces two counts of murder, three counts of strangulation or choking and three counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.

The district attorney’s office did not say when – or if – new fees will be filed.

Clancy remains in hospital and will be arraigned “as soon as possible,” Plymouth District Attorney Tim Cruz said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The children were found ‘unconscious with obvious signs of trauma’ at the Clancys’ home in Duxbury after her husband called 911 for medical help.

There was speculation based on recent Facebook posts that Clancy suffered from postpartum depression, but Cruz declined to say if that was a contributing factor.

The Plymouth District Attorney’s Office and Duxbury Police did not respond to requests for updates on the health of Clancy or his youngest son.

The tragedy shook the entire community, including the first responders who were there. DA Cruz alluded to the emotional toll the scene took on everyone home that day.

Duxbury Fire Chief Robert Reardon and Deputy Chief Brian Monahan issued a joint statement urging responders to contact them if they are struggling to cope.

“Tragedies like these are always difficult to understand and deal with,” Reardon and Monahan said in their statement. “We are all dealing with many emotions. Please know that all public safety personnel have been offered, and will continue to be offered, the support needed.”

Local news outlet NBC10 Boston reported on Friday that first responders outside Duxbury were following advice to deal with the tragic scene.

“A lot of the members who responded probably had kids the same age as the ones they were working on,” said Rich MacKinnon, president of Massachusetts Professional Firefighters.

Hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil on Thursday evening at Holy Family Church in Duxbury to pray for the Clancy family and first responders.

On Thursday, Duxbury Police issued a press release from Chief Constable Michael Carbone on Twitter. Carbone thanked the people of Duxbury and the surrounding communities for the “outpouring of support”.

He also assured members of the public that the local security community is well equipped to handle all necessary services as it also provides resources to its staff members.
