Dedicated group of on-call Firefighters protecting the Town of Harvard Massachusetts.
The mission of the Harvard Fire Department has evolved over the years to be more than just a “fire” department. Today we are trained to handle hazardous materials events, water and ice rescues, accident victim extrications, mass casualty incidents, commercial and residential water problems and any other type of natural or manmade disaster. We are also teachers of fire safety and prevention. We are the people you call whenever you need help, no matter what kind of problem, day or night, 365 days a year. As volunteers, this is what we signed up to do and it is a privilege to assist our fellow Harvard citizens.
Our primary goal is to faithfully serve and protect our community in times of need. We accomplish this goal through regular comprehensive training, readiness to respond to any situation, and a commitment to leadership, teamwork and excellence. We continuously seek to advance our daily objectives of fire protection, public education and innovation in order to better preserve the lives and property of our neighbors.
