Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund

If you spent five minutes with Chief Mike Maloney, you never forgot it.

One of six kids in a neighborhood packed with big families, the Chief grew up knowing how to hold a room. He had these friendly blue eyes that gave him away every time and you always knew when he was about to say something that would make the whole room laugh. Whether it was in his role as Chief, volunteering at the Special Olympics, playing at a DARE basketball game that he had no business playing in, or deep frying a turkey on Thanksgiving, he brought a good energy and a lot of humor to the table.

And so today, fourteen years on, we’d love to hear your stories! Tell us a funny memory in the comments section. A story, a moment, something he said that you’ve never forgotten. He would have loved knowing people were still talking about him, and probably would have something to say about whatever you posted. Share away.

260 Forever. 💙

Excellent news!

Congratulations go out to Meghan Burke of Stratham! Meghan has won the Stratham Fire Department raffle for JetBlue tickets! Thanks to everyone who participated. In addition to raffle sales, several people donated money towards the purchase of a mechanical ventilator for the Stratham FD and we were able to surpass our goal of $5,000! Along with the 15K grant from the Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund, we are very close to being able to fully fund the purchase of the Vent - and make Stratham a safer community!

The Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund is thrilled to announce a $15,000 grant to the Stratham Fire Department for life saving ventilator equipment

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund Awards $15,000 Grant to Stratham Fire Department for Life Saving Ventilator Equipment

Greenland, NH – The Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund has awarded a $15,000 grant to the Stratham Fire Department to purchase a second advanced mechanical ventilator for its ambulance service.

The ventilators represent a significant advancement in emergency medical care for Stratham and surrounding communities. This equipment will ensure both of Stratham’s frontline ambulances are equipped with hospital-grade respiratory support capabilities, enabling paramedics to provide critical care to patients experiencing respiratory emergencies from the moment they arrive on scene.

"This investment directly benefits our community by bringing hospital-grade respiratory support to patients in their moment of greatest need," said Hearshell VanLuven, the department's Paramedic Coordinator and grant applicant. "Having uniform equipment across both ambulances ensures every patient receives the same exceptional level of care, regardless of which unit responds."

"Chief Maloney believed deeply in giving back, enriching his community, and inspiring the next generation to do the same," said Tim Maloney, Vice President of the Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund. "The Stratham Fire Department's commitment to advanced life support readiness and forward-thinking leadership demonstrates exactly the kind of dedication to service that Chief Maloney championed throughout his career. We're honored to support this critical enhancement to their capabilities."

The Stratham Fire Department plays a vital role not only in serving its own community but also in providing mutual aid support to neighboring departments during high-acuity emergencies. The addition of the second ventilator strengthens the regional emergency response network and expands the department's capacity to assist surrounding communities.

The equipment is expected to be deployed prior to the start of 2027.
