2010 ANNUAL REPORT ENFIELD, NEW ... - Town of Enfield

162
Fire Department
MISSION STATEMENT
The Enfield Fire Department endeavors to provide safe, effective and
efficient fire protection services to the residents of Enfield and to
provide comprehensive education to reduce the causes of fire.
The Fire Department was busy this year with 128 calls. This is up from
last year’s calls of 113.
There are currently 38 members on the Fire Department between the
Union Street and Center Stations.
The Explorer program is still going strong with the help of many
members and non-members of the Fire Department.
Members of the Fire Department continue to be involved with the Fire
Prevention Week and Career Day. The dedication and time of these members is
what makes these programs a success. We, at the department, appreciate all they
do.
The renovations continue at the Union Street station.
We have purchased a portable generator that will be of great use to the
Town in the event of a major power outage.
The firefighters have purchased an enclosed trailer to transport the ATV,
with funds that were raised through their fundraising efforts.
Again, we strongly encourage everyone to make sure their smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors are working properly and to replace the batteries at
least twice a year. Everyone should have a fire escape plan for their home. If
you are in need of a smoke detector contact the Fire Department. Stay Safe.
We would like to thank everyone for their continued support of the
Enfield Fire Department.
Respectfully submitted,
David J. Crate, Sr.
Fire Chief
