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.
Recruit Training Class #11 was Ladders and Ventilation (Practical). During this practical course our new Firefighters are taught different ladder raises and carries by our experienced group of Recruit Trainers. The class is then split into two groups, with half practicing ladders and the other half concentrating on hydraulic, mechanical, and roof ventilation using our training building and one of the roof-cut props (Blizzard snow storm did help here…) What a tremendous value to being able to have our new Firefighters practice real life scenarios under one roof in our own backyard.

Our Recruit Trainers go above and beyond in teaching our five newest Firefighters proper fire pump, fire hoses and stream operations. Firefighters got a chance to operate our front line Engines, a Brush Breaker and a Tanker, pumping and practicing hose techniques in realistic operational scenarios. Learning how to draft water out of our portable pools is a must when you become a firefighter in Carver. Firefighters also practiced hose packing and deploying techniques, selecting correct nozzles streams and flow pressures, hose rolls and other techniques our new firefighters will need when working fire incidents. Our Training Facility with onsite pressurized hydrants helps take everything to the next level. Great Job TEAM (Photo’s by Future CFD Firefighter, Matt Heath)
