Department
The Acton Fire Department is a small volunteer department of about 45 members. We average about 170 calls per year. The Fire Department is entirely volunteer based, with members receiving a small stipend based on the number of emergency calls they respond to. We operate from one beautiful new station built in 1998 and operate 2 engines, a tank truck, a squad/utility vehicle and two forestry trucks. (See our apparatus page). We communicate on a UHF radio system with 460.5500 Mhz as our primary dispatch frequency. Our members actively participate in community improvement and work to improve citizen safety by offering public education in the schools and elsewhere, a smoke detector installation and battery maintenance programs, an annual Toys for Tots program, and educational demonstrations during Acton Pride Day and the annual Acton Fair.
