APPARATUS SPOT LIGHT
Engine 2 - 2023 Ford F550/E-ONE 1250/270/30F
Hatfield E2 is specifically designed to respond to specific addresses that do not allow for the full size apparatus to be utilized. It has a 1250 GPM pump with a 270 gallon water tank and 30 gallon foam system built on a Ford chassis by E-ONE. It is most specifically used for outside fires, wires down, as well as anywhere a four wheel drive vehicle is needed. This apparatus is capable of being housed at the North station, living on Depot Road for a parital duration of the year. It is rotated with our Brush Truck depending on the type of fire calls most prevalent. It is the newest apparatus in our fleet.

Hiring Continually - Call Firefighters/EMTs
As a majority on-call fire department, a large portion of our personnel is made up of citizens from within the commumity. Members come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and everyone contributes to the common goal. With that said, we are always in need of new members and welcome those who are interested.
We are currently accepting applications for the positions of Firefighter, EMT, Paramedic, or both. No previous training or experience required! We provide all necessary fire training, and are willing to send interested people to EMT class at our expense (with conditions).
Do you have questions about the application process? Email Chief Robert Flaherty (firechief@townofhatfield.org).
