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 are nearing the end of their Recruit Training Program. This past week they demonstrated all their non-firefighter skills at the Training Facility. The group worked another MVA Entrapment scenario, practiced additional maze evolutions, performed another round of search and rescues, and finally some Ladders evolutions. Next up is their Live Fire Practical and Graduation, and then they will transition into Station Training for a 60 day period. (Photo’s by Future CFD Firefighter, Matt Heath)
On Thursday night, our Recruit Instructors and some loyal helpers put on an awesome Wildfire class for our new Firefighters. Normally, the recruit training wildfire class is held as a classroom setting, but in recent years it has been a bigger hit to load up all our recruits on Brush Breakers and travel the woods. Breakers 26 and 27 participated in the exercise, as a rolling wildfire class took place in the rear of each breaker. Our new Firefighters got a chance to not only listen to the instructors in the back of each Breaker describe proper driving techniques, fuel loads, nozzle patterns and operational procedures, but they got a chance to see and experience it firsthand.
