Brentwood Fire & Rescue

Brentwood Fire & Rescue Brentwood Fire & Rescue is a combination paid and call-paid department protecting 4400 residents. Th The association was formed by William Bartlett Sr.

The Brentwood Fire Department has a long and proud history, beginning with the formation of the Brentwood Fireman's Association in 1942. and John Dodge. In 1949, under the leadership of President William Yeany, the association with a handful of volunteer firemen built, at no cost to the town, the Memorial Fire Station. The Firemen's Association raised the money for the station by running whist parties, carnivals, field days, and lawn parties. The lumber came from the town forest located near the Congregational Church now called the Pilgrim United Church of Christ on Middle Road. The Fire Station was dedicated to World War II veterans and the upstairs hall was dedicated to a fallen WWII son, Gordon Block. In 1960 and again in 1980, the association expanded the fire station with proceeds from Friday night bingo, carnivals, musters, Sunday morning breakfasts, and yard sales. The 1960 addition consisted of 3 additional bays, and in1980, 2 more bays were added. The Brentwood Fire Association also put together the town’s first fire engine. Prior to their work, Brentwood residents had to rely on surrounding towns for a fire engine. Those who had a fire had to pay $25.00, or more, to the towns that sent equipment. By the 1960s, it became apparent to the volunteer firemen that the town was in need of ambulance service and the Brentwood Volunteer Ambulance Association was formed. It supported the training and conducted fund raising needed to insure it could meet the needs of the town and state regulations. The first ambulance was a Chevrolet Carry-all secured from the civil defense surplus. The next ambulance was a used Pontiac that was bought by the town for $600. The town's third ambulance was bought with a donation made by the late Jennie Shannon of Windy Brook Farm. In the late 1990's the ambulance association was dissolved and became one with the Firemen's Association and the department became the Brentwood Fire and Rescue Department. Today, ambulance services are charged on an ability-to-pay basis and the proceeds are used to fund training, supplies, labor and the replacement of ambulances as needed. In the beginning, Brentwood’s population was less than 800 residents and all the firemen lived in and, for the most part, worked in Brentwood. The Firemen's Association and Fire Department had a total membership of about 30 and the only requirement was a willingness to help your neighbor when you were called. Today, with the population in excess of 4400 the Brentwood Fire and Rescue Department is a Combination Call/Paid Department. The department membership consists of 2 full-time firefighter/EMTs, part-time fire chief, part-time fire inspector and 30 paid call (part-time) firefighters and EMTs. These dedicated men and women staff 2 ambulances, 3 engines, 1 heavy rescue and a forestry responding to over 1000 calls for service each year. The Town of Brentwood is protected Monday – Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., by the full and part-time personnel. Nights and weekends the town is protected by the numerous paid call fire and ambulance personnel who provide the additional coverage, responding from their homes.

The Brentwood Fire Rescue team recently responded to a call to rescue a cat stranded in a tree. The cat was positioned approximately 30 feet above ground. Through careful maneuvering and persuasion, the cat was coaxed into allowing us to bring it down safely and reunite it with its owner. The Brentwood Fire Rescue crews provide various forms of assistance to our community, including animal rescue services.

Upcoming weekend update:
BURNING BAN STILL IN EFFECT, despite the recent rain.

BURNING BAN- NO OUTSIDE FIRES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

The New Hampshire Division of Forest and Lands has recommended to all communities that due to the ongoing worsening state-wide drought conditions, ALL OUTDOOR BURNING ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

In response to these recommendations, the Town of Brentwood has implemented suspension of all outdoor burning until further notice, including all seasonal permits.

The daily fire danger has been HIGH to VERY HIGH due to the lack of measurable rain this summer and extreme drought conditions.

Please adhere to the burning restrictions and help us avoid potential fires.
We will issue a statement when the burn ban is lifted.

Brentwood Fire & Rescue conducted a simulated training exercise in the woods last night, replicating a hunter in a tree stand experiencing a medical emergency. We initiated the scenario with an unknown location, utilizing Pepe our search and rescue K9, to track and locate the injured hunter and deployed our newly acquired free UTV to transport gear, testing its efficacy in removing the patient and facilitating emergency care and treatment out on the trail.

Do you love dogs? We do, and today is National Dog Day, so we want to brag about our awesome Urban Search and Rescue dog, Pepe.
After disasters like earthquakes or tornadoes, this highly trained and talented canine can deploy with Brentwood Fire Rescue and Massachusetts Task Force 1 to look for survivors trapped in rubble and damaged buildings.
He also gives great hugs to our first responders after their bad calls at the fire station.

Highly recommend you his class.

Smoke alarms are your first line of defense in a fire, but only if they’re working properly.

Do this to make sure they’re ready in case of an emergency:

✅ Test your smoke alarms monthly
✅ Replace batteries if needed
✅ Replace the alarm if older than 10 years

📅 Not sure how old your alarm is? Check the manufacture date on the back!
