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.
This week our new Firefighters were given a great course on Rapid Intervention and Thermal Imaging by our Recruit Trainers. Each firefighter got a chance to practice working as a coordinated TEAM, and practice realistic self-rescue techniques that may need to be used in the event a firefighter becomes trapped or disoriented.

Our Recruit Trainers go above and beyond in teaching our 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 Firefighter, Rick Leopardi)
