Thanks to Carver Council on Aging for visiting us this week! Our Fire Prevention Officer visits the COA every few months for fire safety discussions, but for Fire Prevention Month, they came to us!

A heartfelt thank‑you to Deputy Chief Jesse Boyle for welcoming our seniors with such a wonderful presentation and tour of the Center Carver Fire Station. It was a real treat to see the High School Senior Interns hard at work during their training session, too! The dedication of the staff and the pride they take in their beautiful facility truly shine through — it’s clear why the Carver Fire Department means so much to our community.

Carver Firefighters responded to two serious crashes today, one on Center St and the second on Rt. 44.

For the Rt 44 call- it occurred during the daytime hours, which is the most challenging time of day for an on-call fire department. Our members showed up in force, with 17 firefighters on scene.
With Carver EMS also on scene with multiple paramedics, we were able to provide the highest level of patient care and incident management without compromise.

Both vehicles had single occupants who were transported to local hospitals.

Effective at 1800hrs on Sunday October 18th, Company 2 Lt. Mark Durling has been promoted to the position of Captain.

Durling fills the position vacated by long time Captain Bill Froehlich, who has been promoted to Assistant Deputy and assumes his new role at 1800hrs today.

Capt. Durling will go by the call sign "201" and is expected to perform the duties and responsibilities of a duly appointed Captain. As such, he should be addressed as Captain on the fire-ground. Mark joined the Carver Fire Department in 2003, and serves along with his wife Kristen and son Matt, also Carver firefighters.

Please join us in congratulating Captain Mark Durling in this milestone achievement!

Upon arrival, smoke was showing from the eaves of a 2 1/2 story residential structure. The lone elderly resident was able to exit the structure under their own power. Heavy fire was found in the ceiling between the 1st and 2nd floors. Fire had spread through void spaces to the 2nd floor and attic. Second and third alarms were struck bringing in assistance from Pembroke Fire, Plympton Fire Department, Carver Fire Department, Halifax Fire Department, Duxbury Fire PIO,Plymouth Fire Department and Hanson Firefighters Local 2713. The fire was brought under control in approximately 1 hour. The occupant and one firefighter were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries.

Interns Class of 2027 update! The students just wrapped up Module 1, a five-class section with an introduction to the fire service, safety, Incident Management, and lots of hands on PPE and SCBA drills.

This is an impressive group, consistently beating the 60-second PPE donning requirement. During this week's practical, 3 Interns broke the 40 second barrier, and all finished with time to spare. They are now working on air management while wearing SCBA under increasingly difficult evolutions. With each evolution they are improving their breathing skills, which extends their "cylinder time" significantly. Air consumption for Class 5 averaged 17.2 minutes of air in a 30 minute cylinder. Class 6 increased by 25% to 23 minutes of air in a 30 minute cylinder. The longer they can get their cylinder to last, the more work they can safely do. That's good progress and I hope to see it continue to improve.

Module 2 is Fire Science and Fire Dynamics, and will be a brief section before we go back to full hands-on with hoses and streams.
