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 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 Retired CFD Firefighter, Rick Leopardi)
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)
