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.
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)
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.
