"Proudly Serving the Town of Berlin for 125 years!"
The Berlin Fire Department, headed by Chief Bruce Ricard,
is a call department, consisting of 27 Firefighters and
Officers protecting a population of approximately 2600

As a call department, the members are on call 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week and respond to your emergency calls
from their homes, places of business or any other location,
at a moments notice.In an average year, we respond to about 300 calls, of all types,
from fire suppression, to hazardous materials containment, motor
vehicle accidents and generally assisting the public in a variety of ways.
In addition to responding to incidents, the department is responsible
for implementing a wide variey of permits, inspections and fire details

It is in this tradition that the department has served
the community since 1882.
