The Carver Fire Department is located in Southeastern Massachusetts.
We proudly protect 11,368 people living in an area of 39.58 square miles. We operate out of three stations that protect a primarily residential/agricultural area. Our Department is an ISO 2/2Y-rated Public Department whose 85 members are on a paid on-call status.
CFD Fire Companies responded to a motorcycle accident in the powerline area off of South Meadow Road. Due to the remote area, our Forestry UTVs 23 and 24 responded to assist Carver EMS and PD with transporting the patient to an awaiting ambulance. A Med Flight Landing Zone (LZ #6) was established by C3, Engines 1 and 2, and Breaker 29 at our Fire Headquarters, with the patient transported by helicopter to a Boston Hospital.
Our new Firefighters reviewed Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in class this week. Firefighters got familiar with weekly SCBA checks and learned the do’s and don’ts of their PPE gear. Next class (Outdoor Practical) they will use their knowledge in the field, as live search and rescue practical scenarios will be conducted in our Training Facility.
