Town of Haverhill Fire Department

At Haverhill’s 2020 Annual Town Meeting the Town voted to create the Town of Haverhill Fire Department and accept both the North Haverhill and Haverhill Corner Fire Departments should the two precincts independently at their Annual Precinct Meetings vote to relinquish their fire departments so they could become part of the Town Fire Department. Subsequently, North Haverhill at their Annual Precinct Meeting in 2020 voted to do just that and so the North Haverhill Fire Department will become the first station to join the Town’s new Fire Department. At the Haverhill Corner Precinct Annual Meeting in 2021 the residents of that precinct voted to become part of the new Town Fire Department. The Town Fire Department serves all but 3 square miles of the Town of Haverhill at this time.
