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.
Class #22 for our Recruit Firefighters was Live Fire Intro. Three different live fires (Dumpster Fire, Car Fire and Single Room Structure Fires) were demonstrated by our Instructors. Throughout the evening our new firefighters got a chance to extinguish each of the fires, while having instructors by their side. Instructors also performed a live fire classroom session in our larger burn room, where all firefighters got a chance to watch fire spread, see first-hand fire extinguishment and hydraulic ventilation techniques. Our recruits will conduct another live burn training on the last day of the course, where they will be expected to perform fire suppression’s without instructor assistance. A big thank you to all our veteran firefighters that assisted throughout the evening with yard help. In order to conduct the live fire scenarios we need at least 10 support firefighters to assist.

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)
