Mission Statement
The Pelham Fire Department is a full-service organization dedicated to serving the needs of Pelham, its visitors, and our regional partners with a wide range of unique skills and experience in public safety. We will continually enhance ourselves by embracing education, training, self-evaluation, and community outreach.
Description
The Pelham Fire Department operates 3 Engines, 1 Tanker, 3 ambulances, 3 Brush units, and 2 Command Vehicles from a centrally located station. Your fire department has 24-hour and 7-day-a-week coverage. There are 4 shifts which consist of 1 Lieutenant and 4 Firefighters/AEMTs or Paramedics. Each shift also has a Paramedic among those 5 members; a Paramedic can use more advanced life-saving techniques than those of the AEMT, which may mean the difference between life and death.
If there is more than one emergency happening at once, the call department is vital to ensure the safety of the citizens of the town of Pelham. The call department also has 1 EMT. The ambulance service is an emergency-only service that transports to various local hospitals in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
