Fire Department
Resources
The Pembroke Fire Department is a call department which operates out of a four-bay facility located on Route 3. The location on Route 3 provides the department with easy access to the major north-south route, providing quick response times both to the downtown village and to the northern industrial and residential areas of Town.
Department personnel consists of the Fire Chief, Assistant Chief, two Deputy Chiefs, two Captains, three Lieutenants, and twenty-five firefighters.
Department equipment is comprised of a fleet of modern apparatus including three pumpers, one aerial tower and a host of other support vehicles. The Department's most valuable resource is its complement of over 35 personnel, compensated only for actual responses. The fire fighters and fire officers spend hundreds of hours of volunteer time maintaining the apparatus, training, conducting fire safety inspections and public fire safety education programs.
Associations
The Department is an active member of the Capital Area Mutual Aid Fire Compact with is a mutual aid system in which Concord and the surrounding towns share resources. In the event of a major incident, assistance is automatically dispatched from neighboring towns. This system keeps the need for additional resources for each town to a fiscally responsible level.
