Fire Divisions

The Department is a combination fire department with both career and paid call members that provide emergency services to the citizen of Franklin from our central station.  Franklin, New Hampshire is located in the Lakes Region of central NH and is 29 square miles with three rivers, a lake, a moderate sized industrial park, a local 50 bed hospital, a downtown district and a number of neighborhoods (from mid 1800’s to today).  The Department currently holds an Insurance Service Organization (ISO) fire protection rating of 3/3X.  Approximately two-thirds of the community’s area and greater then three-quarters of its population is covered by a municipally operated water system.

We provide our services from one of five divisions: Administration, Fire Suppression, Rescue & EMS, Fire Alarm, and Fire Prevention & Inspection.  We are also proud members of the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid Association (mutual aid & dispatching) as well as the Central New Hampshire Hazardous Materials Response Team (Level A-D hazardous materials response) in furthering our effort to provide you the highest level of service.
