Everyone needs working smoke alarms. This public service announcement from the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services is geared toward older adults, who are at greater risk in case of fire. If your smoke alarm uses alkaline batteries, change the batteries twice a year, and replace an alarm if it's more than 10 years old.
Apparatus Spotlight
Engine 2
Hatfield E2 is the only apparatus in our fleet stored outside of Central Station. Engine 2 lives on Depot Road, serving residents on the North side of town. Built in 1989, this 33 year old truck looks great for its age and remains a beautiful piece of Hatfield's Fire history. Her 1,250 gallon per minute pump remains in working order and continues to pass yearly inspections!
Hiring Continually - Call Firefighters/EMTs
As a majority 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 (bflaherty@townofhatfield.org).
