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.
Our new Recruit Firefighters put their recently learned classroom knowledge to work at an MVA rescue practical at our Training Facility. Using a donated vehicle our Recruit Instructors guided our new Firefighters through the process of using the Jaws of Life, air bags and specialized rescue tools to free simulated trapped occupants. Each time a firefighter can practice simulated rescues under a controlled environment, makes them more proficient during the real emergency! (Photo’s by Firefighter, Steve Falconer)
Company One conducted their February cold water/Ice drill last Sunday, where they refined their ice rescue skills utilizing our "Rescue Alive Sleds" among other topics, which included water supply ice operations. As you can imagine, winter water supply when ice is present on our waterways can be extremely challenging. The ice augers, chainsaws, and coldwater exposure suits certainly got a workout! Hats off to our Officers for coordinating a great drill! (Photo’s by Firefighter, Danny Wilcox)
