A special thanks and congratulations to Don Bosse who completed his last shift with Center Harbor yesterday!

The questions our 911 telecommunicators ask provide extremely valuable information to get the right resources to your emergency. Stay on the line, give them the information they need, and rest assured that we have usually already been dispatched even though they are asking you more questions!

When you call 911, stay calm and be ready to answer important questions about your location and the emergency.

Follow the telecommunicator’s instructions carefully.

Stay on the line until they tell you it’s okay to hang up.

We will connect you with the help you need.

Center Harbor sent 2 engines to assist with this unusual incident where fire boats were the most effective and efficient means of getting water on a land-based fire.

Center Harbor personnel are working towards renewal of their CPR certifications. All members, even those who are not EMTs, are required to have current CPR certification. This ensures every person who shows up to your emergency can provide this critical, potentially lifesaving skill.

Thank you to Eversource NH and New Hampshire Electric Cooperative who are currently working in a heat wave to resolve a major outage involving a transmission line in Center Harbor. One of the transmission lines off of Piper Hill Road failed and fell, causing a small fire which is contained. Utility personnel continue to work to repair the line at this time. Crews are estimating power will be restored around 8:30 this evening.
