Check your smoke alarms and close your bedroom door at night
67% of residential fire deaths in NH over the last five years did not have working smoke alarms .
In case you missed it, an excellent demonstration of the importance of interconnected smoke alarms and closing the door before bed.

See the attached WCAX story for more information on today’s bus accident in Hanover
A school bus driver suffered a medical event Wednesday morning while taking children to school in Hanover, New Hampshire. She later died.
Chief McMillan explains why there is no burning allowed during red flag days.
Fire officials issued a "red flag warning" Tuesday across the state of New Hampshire and parts of Maine. The warning is due to extremely dry conditions.
A 4-alarm brush fire brought 74 firefighters to Hanover this past Saturday. The fire burned the sides of a very steep hill in Etna and required tremendous resources to extinguish.

More Pump Testing ahead of today’s showers.

The CMC Arizona Vortex has many uses both indoors and outdoors. Here it is being used to lower rescuers through a hole in the floor to retrieve a simulated victim.

Hanover FD assisted the Fairlee fire department with their brush fire on the Palisades. We assisted with personnel and rope equipment, allowing firefighters to get close to the edge of the cliff.
6 members from HFD responded to this fire and assisted in extinguishment over the rough terrain.
What's making all the smoke in town? Fire on Morey Mtn. I got this photo from over in Orford. I could see what looks like a campfire type of fire out on the cliff.
Lifting and Jacking review. We carry the cribbing and air bags on our frontline rescue pumper .
Training this month is on auto extrication. One of the evolutions all shifts are completing is “jaws cup stacking.” Shifts have to stack 10 cups as quickly as possible with each member operating the spreaders. C Shift completed with a time of 2:44.

Congratulations to the 10 newest certified PSD divers and welcome to the ERDI - Public Safety Diving family. Thank you to Hanover NH Fire Department local Professional Fire Fighters of Hanover IAFF Local 3288 for hosting this event.
To say this is solid team of dedicated divers would be an understatement. No matter what we threw at them they took it in stride and knocked out of the park. One of those classes that’s hard to describe in words. We would dive with you gentlemen anytime and anywhere. Solid work 🤙🤙

The Hanover, Lebanon, and Hartford fire departments participated in a rope rescue drill over the last four days. Training topics were rappelling, artificial high directional (Arizona Vortex), and moving patients in a litter. Rope rescue is a high risk, low frequency operation so training like this helps keep our skills sharp!
Engine 2 is currently providing water supply at a multi alarm building fire in Hartford
The Hanover and Norwich fire departments both participated in a tanker shuttle drill this evening. A jet siphon was set up to transfer water from one tank to another, increasing capacity of water available on scene.
Dry hydrant testing is ongoing throughout town. Dry hydrants are strategically located throughout the rural parts of town where there are no pressurized fire hydrants
Members of C shift trained on vertical ventilation using our roof prop and tower today. Vertical ventilation allows hot gas and smoke to escape a burning building.
Happy Fourth from Hanover Police and Fire!
This months training was on boat operations. Each member practiced docking, maneuvering, and retrieving a victim from the water with Marine 1. Pictured are FFs Linehan and Amato after a docking evolution.
Today we trained with the Lebanon and Hartford fire departments in rural water supply operations. A majority of all three towns do not have pressurized fire hydrants and water has to be trucked in from water sources far away from the fire
GARAGE FIRE - Partridge Rd
HFD was dispatched to a reported garage fire on Partridge Rd this afternoon. Engine 5 arrived on scene followed by Engines 2 and 3 and deployed a single hand line to the rear of a two car garage, containing the fire to the outside of the building. Companies conducted overhaul and would like to note that early detection and notification to 911 prevented the damage from being far worse.
BRUSH FIRE- Greensboro Rd
Engines 2, 3, and 5 responded to a small brush fire this afternoon. It was quickly contained before spreading through the woods.

Marine 1 responded to an overturned canoe this afternoon. All occupants were safely removed from the water. Marine 1 is the only boat of its kind in the Upper Valley and responds to water rescue incidents throughout the region!
Recently we have been training pilots to operate our Hovercraft. This specialized piece of equipment helps us access bodies of water when there is too much ice for our boat, but too little for our ice rescue equipment.
Have you ever wondered how a municipal fire alarm system works? Here is a view of “pulling the hook” and the internal workings of an alarm box. The box transmits a sequence of numbers to our station, and we then match the sequence to a chart of locations. This system is slowly going away in Hanover, but any box you see can be used in an emergency!
Window bailouts: something we hope to never do. We have been practicing window bailouts with the CMC LEVR escape system. A window bailout is a technique used when fire conditions deteriorate and firefighters must exit a building as quickly as possible. Thank you to the Lebanon Fire Dept for loaning us their window prop!
