Brentwood Fire & Rescue

Brentwood Fire & Rescue Brentwood Fire Rescue is a career full time and Part time/Per Diem department protecting approximately 5000 residents. and John Dodge.

The Brentwood Fire Department has a long and proud history, beginning with the formation of the Brentwood Fireman's Association in 1942. The association was formed by William Bartlett Sr. 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 f

or 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.

🩸❤️ BRENTWOOD - WE NEED YOUR HELP! ❤️🩸

Summer is a busy time of year. More people are traveling, enjoying the outdoors, getting on the roads, working outside, playing sports, and taking part in all the activities that make summer great.

Unfortunately, that also means more opportunities for serious injuries and emergencies where donated blood can make the difference between life and death.

That’s why Brentwood Fire Rescue is asking our community to roll up a sleeve and give the gift of life. 🩸

The American Red Cross Blood Drive is coming to:

📍 Brentwood Community First Baptist Church
Church Hall
201 North Road, Brentwood, NH 03833

📅 Thursday, August 20, 2026
⏰ 1:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Every donation matters. The blood you give could help a trauma patient after a serious crash, someone undergoing surgery, a cancer patient, a child, or a neighbor facing a medical emergency.

As firefighters and EMS providers, we see firsthand how quickly an ordinary day can turn into someone’s worst day. When that happens, having blood available can be critical.

You don’t have to be a firefighter, EMS provider, or medical professional to save a life.

You just have to be willing to give. ❤️

👉 Schedule your appointment today:
1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767)

Tonight, Brentwood Fire Rescue joined forces with Epping Fire Department and Fremont Fire Rescue for a combined water supply operations training, to work together to better serve our communities.
Water supply is one of the most critical parts of fighting a fire, getting enough water to the scene, fast, often means multiple departments working side by side. Tonight’s training made sure all three departments are using the same tactics and communicating the same way, so when we respond to help each other during a fire or emergency, everything runs smoothly.
We also spent time getting familiar with each other’s apparatus and equipment. With all three of our towns facing the same staffing challenges, our departments rely on each other more than ever. Knowing how to jump onto another department’s truck and get to work immediately saves precious time and time saved is often what makes the difference in an emergency.
It was great to see such strong turnout from all three departments tonight. This kind of training builds the relationships and muscle memory that let us work as one team when it counts, no matter which town’s trucks show up first.
Thank you to Epping Fire Department and Fremont Fire Rescue for a great night of training and to our members who came out to invest their time in keeping our communities safe.

We had an incredible time at Action Kids for their annual Color Wars with the campers and counselors. It is always a great day connecting with the community, and this event never disappoints.
Alongside our partners at the Brentwood Police Department, we were proud to take part in the parade and host a Touch-a-Truck at the end, giving everyone a chance to get up close with our equipment. Thank you to everyone who made the day so special, we are already looking forward to next year.

We wanted to share that the American Red Cross is currently facing an emergency blood shortage after blood donations dropped nearly 25% in June. At the same time, hospitals are experiencing increased demand during the busy summer trauma season, creating a critical gap between the blood available and the needs of patients.

Last night, Brentwood Fire Rescue thoroughly assessed a couple of water sources and participated in training exercises despite the bad weather, because emergencies don't follow a schedule that favors good conditions. Working in tough weather is a natural part of our job, and training in different weather conditions improves our understanding of the challenges we might face.
