By the Numbers
Your Fire Department At the Ready
How many firefighters are at your beck and call at any given time?
The Northborough Fire Department is more than a fire department, as Chief David Durgin explained. Equipped with paramedic equipment, and paramedics, as well as firefighters and the latest fire-fighting paraphernalia, the department responds to everything from a kitten caught in a wall to car accidents. Presently, there are 16 fulltime members of the department, and 10 on-call members. At any given time, four are on duty and that includes a captain and three firefighters.
